Hawaii HB231 amends motor vehicle insurance laws to increase penalties for violations and provide alternatives to fines.
Hawaii HB231 modifies the state's motor vehicle insurance laws by increasing penalties for violations. It allows courts to suspend fines if the driver provides proof of current insurance or offers community service instead. For multiple convictions within five years, the court can suspend the driver's license, impound the vehicle, or impose other penalties. The bill also provides a process for courts to assess a driver's ability to pay fines and adjust penalties accordingly.
