Hawaii lawmakers are continuing to weaken a bill that would require inspection reports for adult care homes and other assisted-living facilities to be posted online.

The House Consumer Protection Committee on Friday reported its amendments, which would make posting the violations optional instead of required.

The committee also watered down House Bill 120 by changing what information would be posted. It deleted language that would have included the quality and conditions of the facilities, instead limiting it to major violations that have been adjudicated.

The bill heads to the Finance Committee next. Chair Sylvia Luke hasn’t decided yet if it will get a hearing.
