Establishes criteria for unpaid student internships in Hawaii to prevent exploitation.

The bill aims to regulate unpaid internships in Hawaii by setting clear criteria to ensure they are educational and not exploitative. It prohibits unpaid internships that are designed exclusively for a job with the employer. The screening process must differ from employment selection and only use educational criteria. Advertisements must emphasize educational benefits, not employment. Students must be informed in writing that they will not receive wages or benefits and are not considered employees. Training must be general, under supervision, and not displace regular employees.
