Informing the Legislature that on June 8, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2567 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 111).

This bill informs the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed Act 111 into law on June 8, 2026. The act establishes a two-year pilot program allowing public employers to seek temporary restraining orders and injunctions on behalf of employees facing employment-related harassment. Under the new provision, public agencies may hire private attorneys to represent harassed employees in court, avoiding potential conflicts of interest that could arise if the Attorney General handled the cases. This change expands existing harassment protections to specifically cover the workplace environment for public sector workers.
