HRS §97-5
Rules for lobbyists on payments and campaign contributions
This section limits what lobbyists can accept or give. A lobbyist cannot take payment that depends on the result of a law or rule. During legislative sessions and around them, lobbyists cannot give money or gifts to certain officials or candidates. If they do, the money goes to a state fund.
The statute, as written — Restricted activities
