HRS §102-13

Changing a concession contract when times get hard

This section lets the parties to a government property concession contract change the agreement to allow a different use and a higher rent, if the person running the concession can show financial hardship from changed circumstances. It only covers amending an existing contract, not creating a new one.

The statute, as written — Amendment of contracts, when authorized

Where there is an outstanding contract, lease, license, permit, or any other such arrangement for the operation of concessions or concession spaces on governmental property, the parties may amend the instrument to permit a related use with an increased rental adjustment where the lessee, licensee or permittee, as the case may be, can show financial hardship arising out of changes of circumstances or otherwise, if required to continue operation under the original permitted use.
