Full Text of Rule 133
Amendment History
The Hawaiʻi State Judiciary’s compiled text of this rule carries no amendment order for this rule. For the adopting orders and any later amendments, see the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary’s rules page.
Plain-English Summary
One sentence, matching Rule 130 in form. Continued detention of the child shall be in accordance with the statutory subsection the rule names.
The rules supply the surrounding process rather than the standard. Rule 134 requires a prompt investigation and a written report covering five specific questions before the hearing. Rule 135 sets what the court may consider and caps an order at seven days. Rule 136 requires review at least every 8 days where a child has not been released.
The effect is that continued detention is never a settled state. Even where the statute permits it, the rules keep returning the question to the court on a fixed cycle.
