HI SR113

Urges Hawaii's congressional delegation and the United States Congress to support legislation excluding enforcement of federal or state sex trafficking laws from Section 230 immunity provisions of the Communications Decency Act.

Cites findings that 75% of sex trafficking survivors reported being sold online, with Backpage, Craigslist, and Facebook identified as common platforms, and Backpage involved in 73% of child trafficking reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Notes that civil and criminal cases against Backpage by sex trafficking victims have been dismissed due to Section 230 immunity protections for interactive computer service providers.

References bipartisan federal legislative proposals including the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017, both designed to carve out sex trafficking law enforcement from Section 230 immunity.

Directs transmission of certified copies to leadership of both chambers of Congress and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
