Establishes criminal penalties for damaging critical infrastructure facilities in Hawaii.

This bill amends Hawaii law to create new criminal offenses for damaging critical infrastructure facilities. The bill defines "critical infrastructure facility" as an electrical power-generating facility, substation, switching station, electrical control center, or electrical transmission or distribution facility. It establishes two degrees of criminal property damage: first-degree is a class A felony and second-degree is a class B felony. The first-degree offense occurs when damage results in an extended power outage or is committed using a firearm, drone, cyber attack, or explosive weapon.
