Bill > HB1935

This bill requires government agencies to protect the home addresses of "covered public servants" (which now broadly includes state and county employees, elected officials, judicial officers, and certain federal judges residing in or formerly serving in Hawaii) and candidates for public office by ensuring these addresses are not publicly accessible and are removed from websites, databases, and public documents. While the bill aims to enhance safety by preventing easy access to personal information that could be used for harassment or violence, it also establishes a process for individuals to request disclosure of a home address under specific circumstances, provided the agency first notifies the public servant or candidate and shares the requester's contact information. The public servant or candidate then has a defined period to object to the disclosure if they believe it would put them, a household member, or their property in imminent danger.
