Hawaii HB886 mandates that officers prevent unlicensed drivers from resuming vehicle operation after citation.

Hawaii HB886 amends Chapter 286 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to address public safety risks posed by unlicensed drivers. If a law enforcement officer lawfully stops a motor vehicle and cites the operator for driving without a valid license, the officer must prevent the operator from resuming vehicle use. The vehicle may be removed by a licensed driver or towed at the owner's expense. If the vehicle cannot be removed within a reasonable time, the officer will arrange for towing at the owner's expense.
