HI HB2263

Expands Hawaii's family leave law to include "qualifying military exigency" as a permissible reason for taking up to four weeks of leave per calendar year, aligning state law with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.

Defines qualifying military exigency as circumstances related to active duty service by an employee's child, spouse, reciprocal beneficiary, sibling, grandchild, or parent in the United States Armed Forces.

Requires employees to provide prior notice to employers when the need for military exigency leave is foreseeable, consistent with existing notice requirements for birth, adoption, or serious health conditions.

Mandates that certification for military exigency leave include a copy of official military orders as supporting documentation.

Effective date is set for July 1, 3000 (placeholder date indicating the bill requires further amendment before implementation).
