HRS §351-88
When the crime victim compensation part stops applying and money is returned
This section says when the crime victim compensation part no longer applies. If a conviction is reversed or if the time to sue has passed and no lawsuits are pending, the money held by the commission must be given back to the convicted person or someone legally entitled to it.
The statute, as written — Part not applicable; return of moneys held
This part shall not apply and shall have no effect where: (1) The conviction is reversed or overturned; or (2) The applicable statute of limitations for a civil action which may be filed by a victim, a victim's representative, or a person specified in section 351 - 31 relating to the criminal act committed by the convicted person has expired, and there are no such civil actions pending and ten years have elapsed since the date of the last judgment obtained by a victim, a victim's representative, or a person specified in section 351 - 31. Under the circumstances set forth in paragraph (1) or (2), all moneys held by the commission in a collection account or special account, including interest, shall be disbursed to the convicted person or any other person legally entitled to receive the disbursement.
