HI HB1502

Adds new authority to impose probationary geographic restrictions on defendants convicted of a misdemeanor who have four or more prior misdemeanor convictions, all occurring within a single business district or resort-zoned area.

Allows courts to sentence eligible defendants to a probationary term of geographic restriction prohibiting entry into the district or area where the convictions occurred (duration not specified in bill text).

Violation of an imposed geographic restriction constitutes a misdemeanor with a mandatory 30-day prison sentence upon conviction.

Exempts individuals who live or work within the restricted district or area from the geographic restriction requirement.

Defines "business district" as territory within 600 feet of a highway containing at least 300 feet of frontage with buildings used for business, industrial, hotel, banking, office, or public purposes.
