HB 186 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO HARASSMENT BY STALKING.

HB 186 reclassifies harassment by stalking as a class C felony, making it a more serious criminal charge. This change directly affects individuals convicted of stalking-related harassment, potentially leading to harsher sentencing. The bill modifies the legal classification, moving it from a lower-level offense to a felony, which impacts how courts handle such cases and the penalties imposed.
