HI HB2414

Updates gender-neutral language throughout multiple sections of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, replacing "he/his" with "the person/the person's" in provisions relating to criminal attempts, solicitation, and conspiracy.

Modifies the statute of limitations for parking violations, moving them from a two-year prosecution window to a one-year window alongside other petty misdemeanors and violations.

Expands telehealth options for mental fitness examinations, allowing examiners to conduct evaluations remotely and requiring the departments of health and corrections to provide secure telehealth access for defendants in their custody.

Requires public agencies to provide relevant medical, mental health, social, and police records to courts within 14 days of receiving a court order for fitness-to-proceed examinations, without requiring signed consent from the defendant if the order so provides.
