HB892

Establishes limitations on geographical restrictions as a condition of probation in Hawaii.

This bill amends Hawaii law to set limits on geographical restrictions imposed as a condition of probation. It mandates that such restrictions must be limited to areas smaller than one mile mauka of the shoreline, be narrowly tailored to the defendant's criminal conviction, and cannot be imposed on areas protected by law. The bill responds to concerns about the Safe and Sound Westside program, which has restricted individuals from large portions of Oahu, affecting their ability to work, live, and practice cultural rights.
