Steven Tyler Act Passes in Hawaii Senate, Seeks to Protect Stars Mar 6th 2013, 12:45 A new measure that protects celebrities against the paparazzi has passed through the state legislature in Hawaii and it's all thanks to Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. The senate passed a bill yesterday that makes it a civil violation for folks to take unwanted pictures/videos of others in their private moments, following Tyler - who owns a Maui home - asking Senator Kalani English to sponsor such a law. The issue became personal for Tyler in December after photos of him and his family were published in a national magazine. Sam Slom, the Senator's sole Republican, objected to the legislation, however, saying Hawaii already protects its citizens and this proposal runs into major First Amendment rights. "My final remarks to Steven Tyler as he sang so eloquently are, 'Dream on, dream on,'" Slom joked. Okay, that's pretty good. Other celebrities who support the bill include Britney Spears, Mick Fleetwood and the Osborne family.
