HRS §291E-35
Immediate return of your license
This section says when your license must be given back right away after an alcohol or drug-related arrest. It only covers cases where a required test shows you were under the legal alcohol limit or had no impairing drug in your system. The return must come with a statement that the revocation case is over.
