Informing the Legislature that on May 19, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2097 HD1 SD1 (ACT 017).

This bill, signed into law on May 19, 2026, updates Hawaii's procedures for administrative driver's license revocations to ensure individuals receive clearer information and timely hearings. It requires the state to mail a detailed notice explaining the reasons for revocation, how to request a hearing, and the specific deadlines for doing so, which differ based on whether the offense involves alcohol or drugs. The law also mandates that hearings be held within twenty-five days for alcohol-related cases or thirty-nine days for drug-related cases, while allowing these proceedings to be conducted via interactive conference technology. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a temporary permit will not be extended if a person fails to request a hearing within the initial six-day window and requires those with valid licenses at the time of arrest to obtain an ignition interlock permit during the revocation period.
