HI SB1213

Allows employers to petition district courts for temporary restraining orders and injunctions to protect employees or invitees from harassment at the employer's premises or worksite.

Defines "harassment" as physical harm, bodily injury, assault, or threats thereof; or an intentional course of conduct that seriously alarms or disturbs an individual and would cause a reasonable person emotional distress.

Requires employers to consult with affected employees before petitioning for relief, with protections against disciplinary action for employees unwilling to participate and allowing employee organizations to intervene in proceedings.

Establishes that knowing or intentional violations of restraining orders or injunctions are misdemeanors, with mandatory minimum jail sentences of 48 hours for first violations after prior conviction and 30 days for subsequent violations.

Provides employers and their agents with presumed good faith immunity from civil liability when acting under this section, unless lack of good faith is proven by clear and convincing evidence.
