HB1128

Hawaii HB1128 amends administrative order enforcement procedures, including penalty imposition and hearing requirements.

Hawaii HB1128 modifies the enforcement of administrative orders by the director. It presumes economic and financial conditions allow penalty payment, shifting the burden of proof to the violator. The director must show notice, hearing opportunity, penalty imposition, and a written hearing request within twenty days. Hearings must occur within twenty-four hours for immediate action orders. The director can affirm, modify, or rescind orders post-hearing and may seek civil action for enforcement.
