REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COURTS TO COLLECT, COMPILE, AND SHARE DATA ON THE ASSESSMENT OF FEES, COURT COSTS, FINES, AND RESTITUTION IN CASES AGAINST MINORS.

This Senate resolution asks the Office of the Administrative Director of the Courts to gather and share data on how often fees, court costs, fines, and restitution are charged to minors in Hawaii. The requested information includes total amounts assessed and collected over the past five years, as well as a detailed list of specific charges available in different court districts. This data collection aims to provide the Legislature with a clear picture of financial penalties imposed on youth cases before the 2025 session. The bill does not change any laws or stop the charging of fees; instead, it focuses on collecting information to inform future policy decisions.
