Hawaii Senate Committee Amends Third Party Liability Bill -- Media Coalition

Hawaii Senate Committee Amends Third Party Liability Bill

When Hawaii's Senate Economic Development and Technology Committee heard S.B. 1207 on February 16, it added an amendment to the bill establishing a task force to study the relationship between visitors' guides, trespassing, and civil liability. The bill has been amended slightly, but none of those amendments have addressed Media Coalition's First Amendment concerns. Read more about the bill and it companion in the House here.
