Hawaii Increase Time for Senate to Act on Judicial Appointments Amendment

Current assessment

Extends judicial-appointment consideration from thirty to sixty days for April–December appointments; additional review time comes with a longer potential confirmation delay.

What still needs an answer

• Fetch final SB121 and confirm default-on-inaction and extension scope before publication.

Source check and limits

Official Question1 and November3 election date checked; committee report identifies out-of-session review problem. Full final SB121 link was inaccessible; unchanged automatic-confirmation mechanism not independently certified.
