Hawaii HB1396 amends the definition of custodial interference in the first degree, including new conditions and defenses.
Hawaii HB1396 amends the definition of custodial interference in the first degree, a class C felony, by adding new conditions and defenses. The bill specifies that a person commits this offense if they knowingly violate a court order, take a minor from a lawful custodian, or remove a minor from the state. It also introduces an affirmative defense for those who had "good cause" for their actions, provided they filed a report with the family court. The identity and address of the person reporting remain confidential unless released by court order.
