4747 PART I SECTION 1. The legislature finds that House Concurrent Resolution No. 225, Senate Draft 1, Regular Session of 2019, established the twenty-first century privacy law task force, whose membership consisted of individuals in government and the private sector having an interest or expertise in privacy law in the digital era. The resolution found that public use of the internet and related technologies has significantly expanded in recent years and that a lack of meaningful government regulation has resulted in personal privacy being compromised. Accordingly, the legislature requested that the task force examine and make recommendations regarding existing privacy laws and regulations to protect the privacy interests of the people of Hawaii. The legislature further finds that the task force considered a spectrum of related privacy issues that have been raised in Hawaii and other states in recent years. Numerous states have begun to address the heightened and unique privacy risks that threaten individuals in the digital era of the twenty-first century. Dozens of states have already adopted components of privacy law contained in this Act. California has enacted a comprehensive privacy act, and states such as Minnesota, New York, Virginia, and Washington have considered comprehensive privacy legislation in recent legislative sessions. The legislature finds that, following significant inquiry and discussion, the task force made the following various recommendations. The task force recommended that the definition of "personal information" in chapter 487N, Hawaii Revised Statutes, should be updated and expanded, as the current definition of "personal information" is outdated. Individuals face too many identifying data elements that, when exposed to the public in a data breach, place an individual at risk of identity theft or may compromise the individual's personal safety. Chapter 487N, which requires the public to be notified of data breaches, is not, it its current form, comprehensive enough to cover the additional identifiers. Accordingly, that chapter's definition of "personal information" should be updated and expanded to include various personal identifiers and data elements that are found in more comprehensive laws. The task force recommended that explicit consent be required before an individual's geolocation data may be shared or sold to a third party. Numerous reports have been raise in which a person's real time location is identified, allowing the person to be tracked without that person's knowledge or consent by third parties, who in turn share or sell the real time location. This scenario creates serious privacy and safety concerns. The task force also recommended that explicit consent be required before an individual's internet browser history and content accessed may be shared or sold to a third party. The task force further recommended that, in order to align state law with the holding by the Supreme Court of the United States in Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018), and current law enforcement practice, the Hawaii Revised Statutes should be amended to: (1) Require law enforcement entities to obtain a search warrant before accessing a person's electronic communications in non-exigent or non-consensual circumstances; and (2) Authorize governmental entities to request, and authorize courts to approve, the delay of notification of law enforcement access to electronic communications up to the deadline to provide discovery in criminal cases. Lastly, the task force recommended that the State protect the privacy of a person's likeness by adopting laws that prohibit the unauthorized use of deep fake technology, which is improving rapidly, and easily sharable on social media. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to implement the recommendations of the twenty-first century privacy law task force. PART II SECTION 2. Section 487N-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows: 1. By adding two new definitions to be appropriately inserted and to read: ""Identifier" means a common piece of information related specifically to an individual, that is commonly used to identify that individual across technology platforms, including a first name or initial, and last name; a user name for an online account; a phone number; or an email address.

5656
5757 The task force recommended that the definition of "personal information" in chapter 487N, Hawaii Revised Statutes, should be updated and expanded, as the current definition of "personal information" is outdated. Individuals face too many identifying data elements that, when exposed to the public in a data breach, place an individual at risk of identity theft or may compromise the individual's personal safety.

6060
6161 The task force also recommended that explicit consent be required before an individual's internet browser history and content accessed may be shared or sold to a third party.
6262
6363 The task force further recommended that, in order to align state law with the holding by the Supreme Court of the United States in Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018), and current law enforcement practice, the Hawaii Revised Statutes should be amended to:
6464
6565 (1) Require law enforcement entities to obtain a search warrant before accessing a person's electronic communications in non-exigent or non-consensual circumstances; and
6666
6767 (2) Authorize governmental entities to request, and authorize courts to approve, the delay of notification of law enforcement access to electronic communications up to the deadline to provide discovery in criminal cases.
6868
6969 Lastly, the task force recommended that the State protect the privacy of a person's likeness by adopting laws that prohibit the unauthorized use of deep fake technology, which is improving rapidly, and easily sharable on social media.
