HB 1469 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO LABOR.

This bill establishes clear criteria for unpaid student internship programs to ensure they comply with state wage laws. It directly affects student interns participating in unpaid roles and the employers offering these positions. The key provision requires that unpaid internships meet specific standards (like educational value and no displacement of paid workers) to avoid violating minimum wage requirements. The bill is currently pending review in committee and has not yet become law.
