Hawaii HB2227 limits public access to eviction records until a writ of possession is issued.

Hawaii HB2227 aims to reduce barriers to housing stability by restricting public access to eviction records. The bill mandates that eviction records remain inaccessible on public databases until a writ of possession is issued. This change seeks to prevent housing denials based on eviction filings, which can occur even if the tenant prevails or the landlord withdraws the action. The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to implement these changes, effective upon approval.
