HRS §342H-10
How the state decides and applies fines for violations
This section lets the director add fines for breaking the rules, on top of other penalties. When deciding the fine amount, the director looks at the violation's history, any money gained, efforts to fix it, and good faith. The violator is assumed able to pay unless they prove otherwise.
