HRS §128D-37

Oversight costs

This section explains how the department charges for oversight work: an hourly staff rate plus actual expenses, or a higher percentage when it hires outside contractors. Public or nonprofit groups may get a reduced or waived fee if the director thinks it helps the public. The department must send a yearly cost summary to each requester.

If a requesting party is a public or nonprofit agency, the director may reduce or waive this fee if the director deems it to be in the public interest. (b) The department shall provide each requesting party or parties a summary of the oversight costs for the party's specific site on an annual basis.
