Bill > HB2293

This bill clarifies the scope of the Department of Education's harm to students registry, which is a database of employees found to have inflicted harm on a student in the State. Specifically, it excludes K-12 students from being listed on the registry and amends the definition of "employee" to include contractors and volunteers only if their roles involve interaction with students, thereby streamlining administrative processes while maintaining student safety. The bill also makes conforming amendments to other sections of Hawaii Revised Statutes to reflect these changes and specifies an effective date of July 1, 3000.
