HRS §193-33
Which personnel laws do not apply to these workers
This section says that the usual state personnel laws (chapters 76 to 80 and 88) do not apply to people hired under this part. The only exception is for Social Security rules that come from federal youth program laws. So these workers are not covered by most standard state employment rules.
