HRS §431:4-115
Holding solicitation money in escrow
Money collected under a solicitation permit must be kept in a bank or trust company under an escrow agreement approved by the insurance commissioner. The money can only be taken out for specific reasons, like paying allowed expenses or making refunds. Once the insurer gets its certificate, leftover escrow money is given to the insurer.
