HRS §174-4
Board members and employees: conflicts of interest
This section stops board members and employees of the land and natural resources board from having any personal stake in projects or contracts they oversee. If they already own an interest, they must tell the board in writing right away and cannot take part in decisions about that project. Not telling is misconduct.
