HRS §291E-7
Extra court fee for trauma care
This section lets a court add a trauma system surcharge on top of other penalties for certain offenses. The amount depends on the offense and whether it is a repeat offense. The court cannot order it if the person cannot pay, and the money goes to a special fund.
