HRS §436B-22
Giving up a license does not stop investigations
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If you give up, surrender, or do not renew your license, the licensing authority can still investigate you and take action against your license, such as revoking, suspending, or fining you. This section makes clear that giving up your license does not end their power.
