SB2569 amends Hawaii's Uniform Probate Code to better protect the privacy of individuals involved in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings. It distinguishes between documents that are sealed upon filing by default, such as birth, marriage, death certificates, and tax returns, and other highly sensitive materials, such as medical records and professional evaluations, which are temporarily sealed until a court hearing determines if public access should be restricted.
