Hawaii HB669 amends nuisance abatement laws to impose a mandatory $5,000 fine per violation for gambling offenses and extends rights and protections.

Hawaii HB669 amends existing nuisance abatement laws to address gambling offenses. It imposes a mandatory fine of $5,000 per violation for property owners found guilty of allowing illegal gambling on their property. Additionally, it grants citizens who bring civil nuisance abatement suits against places used for illegal gambling the same rights and protections as victims and witnesses in criminal proceedings. This change aims to incentivize property owners to prevent illegal activities on their property and to provide stronger support to those who take legal action against such activities.
