Summary
The bill prevents Hawaii's Department of Law Enforcement, Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department of Taxation, and Department of the Attorney General from appointing or employing anyone who previously worked for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol as a law‑enforcement officer. It is intended to protect civil rights and public safety by keeping individuals with a history of federal immigration enforcement actions out of state policing roles.
