Expands the definition of aggravated circumstances in child protective proceedings in Hawaii.

This bill amends Hawaii law to expand the definition of "aggravated circumstances" in child protective proceedings. It includes situations where a parent has murdered, committed a felony assault resulting in serious bodily injury, or has had their parental rights terminated regarding a sibling. It also includes cases where a parent is required to register as a sex offender, the child is an abandoned infant, or the child has been tortured. The court must conduct specific hearings and order services or treatment if aggravated circumstances are found.
