Hawaii HB264 amends family court procedures to exclude a parent's affirmation of their child's gender identity or expression from the factors courts consider when awarding custody and visitation rights.

It also allows courts to set conditions for supervised or electronic communication visitation, including protected settings and supervision by another person or agency.
