Hawaii SB419 requires insurance policies to cover the replacement of child passenger restraint systems damaged in covered collisions.

Hawaii SB419 mandates that motor vehicle insurance policies cover the replacement cost of child passenger restraint systems damaged in collisions for which liability coverage applies. This requirement aims to ensure child safety by replacing systems that may be compromised even if no visible damage is apparent. The bill also allows insureds to surrender the replaced system to the Department of Transportation. This legislation aligns with best practices for child passenger safety, reduces financial burdens on families, and follows similar provisions in other states like California and Texas.
