HCC §18-88
Bus safety inspection before getting a passenger license
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗Before the county gives a bus a passenger license, the finance director or an official inspection station must check the bus. If it is safe for carrying passengers, they give the owner a certificate saying it passed. This section only covers that inspection and certificate.
