HRS §1-32
Doing a task on a holiday
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If a law or contract says a task must be done on a certain day, and that day is a Sunday or holiday, you can do it the next business day instead. The same applies to Saturdays if court rules allow it. This only covers tasks that are not urgent or necessary.

The statute, as written — Acts to be done on holidays
A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Whenever any act of a secular nature other than a work of necessity or mercy is appointed by law or contract to be performed upon a particular day, which day falls upon a Sunday or holiday, the act may be performed upon the next business day with the same effect as if it had been performed upon the appointed day. When so provided by the rules of court, the act also may be performed upon the next business day with the same effect as if it had been performed upon the appointed day if the appointed day falls on a Saturday.
