HRS §342P-21
Administrative penalties
This section explains how the state can fine you for breaking this law. The fine amount comes from another section. When deciding the fine, the state looks at your violation history, any profit you gained, your efforts to fix it, and other fair factors. You are presumed able to pay unless you prove otherwise.
