Requesting the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to evaluate ways to expand remote employment opportunities for Hawaii.

The bill urges the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to evaluate ways to expand remote employment opportunities for Hawaii residents and reduce barriers that may discourage out-of-state employers from hiring individuals who live in the State. The evaluation should consider clarifying regulatory and tax compliance expectations, maintaining worker protections, ensuring compliance with State labor and tax laws, and simplifying employer onboarding and compliance processes.
