Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗

If a person is convicted of a crime related to their license or permit, the court can suspend or revoke it for the rest of its term. The court can also order the person to pay a fine, or both. After a suspension or revocation, the person cannot get a new license or permit for two years. The court can also take the bond if the licensee broke the license rules.
