HRS §281-106

License penalties do not block other actions

This section says that fines or jail time for a license holder who breaks liquor laws do not replace other actions. The liquor commission or board can still suspend or revoke the license, and can still seek to take the liquor or other property. All these actions can happen at the same time.

The statute, as written — Prosecutions not to exclude other remedies affecting license or goods
