HRS §11-382

What campaign money cannot be used for

This law says campaign funds can only be used for the candidate they belong to. You cannot use them to help or hurt other candidates, or for personal spending. It is a short rule about what is not allowed.

The statute, as written — Prohibited uses of campaign funds

Campaign funds shall not be used: (1) To support the campaigns of candidates other than the candidate with which they are directly associated; (2) To campaign against any other candidate not directly opposing the candidate with which they are directly associated; or (3) For personal expenses.
