HRS §382-6
When the governor must end state operation of a company
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section says the governor must stop the state from running a company's plant or facilities and give them back to the company. This happens when the company can immediately restart and keep operating without problems, or when the state's operation is no longer needed for public health, safety, or welfare.
