HRS §327G-11
Statutory damages for violating advance mental health care directive rules
This section says who must pay money if they break the rules about advance mental health care directives. It covers two situations: health care providers or institutions that break the law, and people who mess with or force someone's directive. It also says these payments are on top of any other legal damages.
