HRS §138-10
Keeping 911 location information private
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section protects the privacy of location information that 911 call centers and public safety agencies collect. It says this information is not a public record, so it cannot be released under the state's open records law. Also, no one can use or share the database information for anything other than the 911 system without the phone company's written permission.
