A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to the use of body imaging scanners at airports.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 261, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§261- Prohibition of the use of body imaging scanners to screen passengers and airline crew members. (a) The use of body imaging scanning equipment in an airport operated in the State to screen passengers and airline crew members is prohibited.
(b) Any person who operates body imaging scanning equipment either in direct contact with a passenger, pilot, or crew member, or remotely views images from the equipment, shall be liable for a civil penalty of $1,000 for each occurrence. The circuit court shall have jurisdiction over proceedings to enforce and collect any penalty imposed because of a violation of this section. Enforcement of this section shall be by legal action initiated by the attorney general or other law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction. The penalty recovered shall be deposited into the general fund.
(c) No local, State, or federal government employee shall have immunity from any civil liability resulting from the operation of such body imaging scanning equipment even if the violation occurred while acting within the scope of employment.
(d) As used in this section, "body imaging scanning equipment," which is also known as an advanced imaging technology unit, is equipment that uses either backscatter technology, millimeter wave technology, or any other technology that produces an image with an equal or increased level of anatomical detail of the image created by the backscatter and millimeter wave technologies."
SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.
