Authorizes geographic restrictions for habitual criminal offenders in Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae.

The bill amends Hawaii law to authorize probationary geographic restrictions for habitual criminal offenders in Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waianae. Offenders with two prior misdemeanor convictions in these areas may face restrictions prohibiting entry between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Violation of these restrictions is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail. The bill aims to replicate the success of Waikiki's safe and sound program, which has reduced crime rates by placing geographic restrictions on habitual offenders.
