HRS §844D-111
Refusing to give a DNA sample when required
If the law says you must give blood, cheek swabs, or fingerprints, and you refuse or fail to do so after getting written notice, you commit a crime. The crime is more serious if you do it on purpose or knowingly, and less serious if you are reckless. This section explains the offense and its penalties.
