HRS §46-15.5

State agencies must help counties with inspections

This section says all state departments, including human services and health, must help counties with certain administrative inspections. They do this by sharing information about possible license violations, possible illegal lodging or food operations, or facts that could support a probable cause finding. It only covers cooperation, not the inspections themselves.
