HRS §621-10
Witnesses must check in daily with the court clerk
A witness in a criminal case who is subpoenaed and paid by the state must check in with the circuit court clerk every day, unless the court excuses them temporarily. They must do this from their first appearance until they are officially released. If they don't check in, they won't get paid for that day.
The statute, as written — Reporting daily
Every witness in a criminal case subpoenaed for the State or for a defendant by order of the court at the expense of the State shall, unless temporarily excused, report in person daily to the clerk of the circuit court from the time of the witness' appearance to the date of the witness' discharge and no per diem shall be allowed for any pay upon which attendance is not reported.
