Hawaii SB872 allows high school graduates to receive workers' compensation during summer work-based learning programs.

SB872 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to extend workers' compensation coverage to high school graduates participating in work-based learning programs during the summer after graduation. This coverage applies to both paid and unpaid internships or work experiences sponsored by the Department of Education or the University of Hawaii. The coverage is exclusive and ends by July 31 of the graduate's high school year. This change aims to ensure that recent graduates remain protected while engaging in career-oriented activities.
