SB 2056 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SB 2056 prohibits law enforcement agencies in the state from entering into certain agreements with federal or out-of-state law enforcement agencies. This bill directly affects all local and state law enforcement agencies by restricting their ability to collaborate on specific joint operations or data-sharing arrangements. The key provision is a blanket ban on these agreements, though the abstract does not specify which types of agreements are prohibited. The bill focuses solely on restricting inter-jurisdictional cooperation without detailing exceptions or enforcement mechanisms.
