HI SB1046

Adds a new category of family leave allowing employees to take up to four weeks per calendar year to seek safety, medical attention, or victim services related to domestic or sexual violence against themselves or their minor child.

Makes this family leave available in addition to existing victim leave under Hawaii law, rather than requiring employees to exhaust all other paid and unpaid leave first.

Requires employers to accept certification for domestic violence-related family leave from health care providers, victim services organizations, attorneys/advocates, or police/court records.

Mandates employers maintain strict confidentiality of all information related to the employee's domestic or sexual violence status and leave requests, with limited exceptions for employee consent, court orders, or legal requirements.

Effective January 1, 2050.
