HI HB1806

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 232-19 to conform tax appeal procedures with current judiciary rules by removing the requirement that appeals be filed with the tax appeal court.

Allows taxpayers, counties, or assessors to file notices of appeal with the intermediate appellate court within thirty days after entry of final judgment, in addition to the existing thirty-day deadline from the tax appeal court decision.

Requires appeals to be filed "in the manner required by court rules" rather than specifying the tax appeal court as the filing location.

Addresses the jurisdictional issue created by the Alford v. City and County of Honolulu (2005) decision regarding dispositive orders that are later merged into final judgments.

Takes effect upon approval.
