Extends workers' compensation coverage to high school graduates in work-based learning programs.

The bill amends Hawaii law to extend workers' compensation coverage to high school graduates participating in work-based learning programs during the summer following their graduation. This change aligns with the Department of Education's strategic plan to prepare students for college and career success. The coverage applies to students or graduates involved in programs sponsored by the Department of Education or the University of Hawaii, whether the work is paid or unpaid. The coverage is exclusive and ends on July 31 of the year following high school graduation.
