HRS §468M-7
Activity desks must pay damages for breaking the law
An activity desk that breaks this law must pay damages to the activity provider. The minimum payment is $1,000 per violation. The number of violations depends on how the law was broken, and there is a cap on damages for first-time violators.
The statute, as written — Action for damages
Any activity desk shall be liable to the activity provider for a violation of this chapter for any damages which result from a violation. Damages shall be awarded at the rate of no less than $1,000 for each violation. Violations shall be calculated as follows: (1) For violations of section 468M-3(1), (2), or (3), by multiplying the number of days the violations occurred by the number of locations of an activity desk where the violations occurred; (2) For violations of section 468M-3(4), by counting the number of days where the client trust account held funds insufficient to meet the requirements of section 468M-3(4); and (3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), not more than $10,000 shall be awarded if the activity desk has not previously been required to pay damages to an activity provider pursuant to this section.
