HRS §515-18

Approval and public release of conciliation agreements

This section says that after a finding of cause, a conciliation agreement must be approved by the commission and made public, unless both sides agree to keep it private and the commission decides it's not needed for the law's purposes. It also makes it illegal for a party to break the agreement.
