HRS §476-17
No extra property as security later
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗In a consumer credit sale, the contract cannot make you put up other property as security later. Only the goods you bought, their accessories, or replacements can secure the debt. This rule is narrow and only covers adding extra collateral after the sale.
