In the early months of 2013, an act was forwarded into the Hawaii legislature entitled the Steven Tyler Act (Hawaii Senate Bill 465). The act would give more privacy to public figures such as government officials and celebrities on vacation. Tyler and numerous other celebrities all lobbied for it. The legislation would give public figures the right to sue paparazzi for taking unwanted photographs. The bill's sponsor is [[Maui]] state legislator J. Kalani English. The bill was cleared through the Judiciary Committee on Friday, February 8, 2013.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/12/opinion/hawaii-grapples-with-the-steven-tyler-act.html Hawaii grapples with the Steven Tyler act] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170717071513/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/12/opinion/hawaii-grapples-with-the-steven-tyler-act.html |date=July 17, 2017 }}, nytimes.com, February 12, 2013; accessed April 11, 2014.</ref>

In August 2015, Aerosmith attended the [[2016 Republican Party presidential debates and forums|first Republican Party presidential debate]] held in Cleveland, as the band was in town for a Pro Bowl concert appearance.
