HRS §11-345
Donor consent and notice for nonprofit noncandidate committees
This section says a nonprofit that acts as a noncandidate committee must get a donor's written permission before using a donation for electioneering or independent spending. It must also tell donors their names may become public, and if no permission is given, it must send a written promise not to use the money that way.
