HI HB807

Establishes civil liability for persons who report to law enforcement without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity or imminent danger, if the report is based in whole or substantial part on the victim's protected class status (race, color, religion, age, sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or disability).

Allows injured persons to bring civil action for injunctive relief, damages, or other appropriate relief in Hawaii courts.

Permits courts to issue injunctions against such discriminatory reporting without requiring proof of actual damages to the plaintiff.

Defines "lack of reason to suspect" using a reasonable person standard—whether a reasonable person would suspect a violation of the Hawaii Penal Code, other criminal conduct, or imminent danger.

Takes effect upon approval.
