HRS §231-94
Show your license when asked
If you need a license or permit under title 14, you must show it when the special enforcement section asks. Not showing it is against the law and can lead to a fine. You can avoid the fine if you give a valid license number that the department confirms.

Any person who violates this section shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $500; provided that if the person is a cash-based business, the fine shall not exceed $1,000.
