HRS §227D-9

Court cases about this law get priority

Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗

This section says that court cases involving the authority, the State, or a county that question whether this law is valid must be heard before most other civil cases, except election cases. The same priority applies if the authority joins a case questioning the law. It is a narrow procedural rule about court scheduling.

Any action or proceeding to which the authority, the State, or a county may be a party, in which any question arises as to the validity of this chapter, shall be preferred over all other civil causes, except election cases, without respect to position on the calendar. The same preference shall be given upon application of counsel for the authority in any action or proceeding questioning the validity of this chapter in which the authority has duly intervened.
