RELATING TO PROPERTY.

The definition of 'discriminatory restrictive covenant' now explicitly references three legal standards: federal Fair Housing Act, the U.S. Supreme Court's Shelly v. Kraemer decision, and Hawaii state law protections.

Protected categories now include 'national origin' in the standard form language, which was missing in the previous version.

The effective date changed from July 1, 3000 to 'upon approval,' making the law immediately effective once signed.

The required language for invalidating covenants was updated to use 'invalid and unenforceable' instead of 'void and unenforceable,' and 'equal justice and equality' instead of 'justice and equal protection.'

Expanded protected categories from race, sex, and religion to include gender identity, expression, sexual orientation, color, religion, marital status, familial status, ancestry, disability, age, and HIV infection.
