Relating To Consumer Protection.

Final Passage·5/6/26

Hawaii HB1511 strengthens consumer protection by regulating unsolicited mail and electronic mail related to warranties.

Hawaii HB1511 amends Chapter 481B of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to enhance consumer protection by prohibiting entities from sending unsolicited mail or electronic mail that could mislead consumers into believing they are being contacted by mortgage or vehicle-related companies. The bill mandates that if such communications do occur, they must include a clear and conspicuous statement that the entity is not affiliated with the mentioned companies and that the offered warranties are optional.
