Hawaii SB2660 regulates service charges in hotels and restaurants, requiring disclosure and distribution to employees.

Hawaii SB2660 amends the state's statutes to regulate service charges in hotels and restaurants. It mandates that any service charge applied for food, beverage, or porterage services must either be distributed directly to employees as tip income or clearly disclosed to customers as an automatic addition to their bill. Restaurants must also notify customers verbally before payment if a mandatory gratuity is added, and such charges cannot exceed 18% of the total bill for parties of ten or more customers.
