HRS §386-7

Workers in interstate, foreign, and maritime jobs

This section says Hawaii's workers' compensation law covers employees and employers in interstate, foreign, and maritime work, as long as federal law allows it and doesn't already cover them. It only sets the law's reach; it doesn't add rules or penalties.
