HRS §350E-5
Agreements with other states for placing children
This section lets state and local agencies that place children make agreements with similar agencies in other states under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. But if the agreement costs money or creates a financial duty for Hawaii or a local government, it only becomes binding after the right finance officer approves it in writing.
