HI HB1175

Amends section 232-19, Hawaii Revised Statutes to modify the procedure for appeals from the Tax Appeal Court to the intermediate appellate court.

Removes requirement that notice of appeal be filed "with the tax appeal court" and instead requires filing "in the manner required by court rules."

Expands the appeal deadline to allow filing within thirty days after entry of final judgment, in addition to the existing thirty-day period from the decision of the tax appeal court.

Addresses jurisdictional issues created by the Alford v. City and County of Honolulu court decision regarding appeals of dispositive orders that are later merged into final judgments.

Takes effect upon approval.
