SB2900 amends Hawaii law to protect sports officials from assault and allows the attorney general to represent them in civil actions.

SB2900 amends Hawaii law to include sports officials among those protected from assault. It defines "sports official" as anyone enforcing event rules or supervising participants at a sports event. The bill also allows the attorney general to represent a sports official in civil actions related to assaults or threats occurring during the lawful discharge of their duties. This protection extends to the time the official arrives at the venue until they return to their contractual basis, including educational functions.
