HRS §444-32
Board takes over the judgment after paying from the recovery fund
If the court orders the contractors license board to pay a judgment from the recovery fund, the board steps into the creditor's shoes. The creditor must hand over the judgment rights to the board. Any money the board collects goes back into the fund.
