HI SB226

Defines "business day" as any calendar day excluding Saturday, Sunday, and state holidays for purposes of family abuse statutes.

Replaces the 48-hour no contact period with a separation period expiring at 6:00 p.m. on the second business day following the day the order is issued, with the order issuance day excluded from the calculation.

Eliminates the prior provision that extended the separation period when incidents occurred after 12:00 p.m. on Friday or on weekends/holidays.

Maintains police authority to order alleged abusers to leave premises, issue written warning citations, and arrest those who violate the separation order or initiate contact with the victim.

Authorizes police to seize firearms and ammunition reasonably believed to have been used or threatened in the commission of domestic abuse offenses.
