HRS §286-244

Reporting out-of-state driver convictions to their home state

When a driver with a commercial license or permit from another state is convicted of a traffic violation in Hawaii (except parking), the driver examiner must tell that driver's home state. The same applies to non-commercial drivers convicted while driving a commercial vehicle. The notice must be sent within a set time after the conviction.
