HRS §256B-7
State does not guarantee college savings accounts
This section says the State of Hawaii and its officials are not responsible for making sure you get your money back or earn a return on a college savings account. It also requires that any paperwork you sign to open an account clearly tells you the account is not insured or guaranteed by the State.
