BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The purpose of this bill is to amend the definition of "confidential personal information," in section 708-800, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), to conform the definition to the judicially imposed amendments set out by the Hawaii Supreme Court, in its decision of State v. Pacquing, 139 Haw. 302 (2016).

SECTION 2. Section 708-800 , Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definition of "confidential personal information" to read as follows:

""Confidential personal information" means information in which an individual has a significant privacy interest, including [but not limited to] a driver's license number, a social security number, an identifying number of a depository account, or a bank account number[, a password or other information that is used for accessing information, or any other name, number, or code that is used, alone or in conjunction with other information, to confirm the identity of a person]."

SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun, before the effective date of this Act.

SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
