HI SB2852

Authorizes the board of land and natural resources to require performance of natural resource-related community service as an administrative penalty for aquatic resource violations, in addition to or in lieu of fines.

Establishes maximum community service hours: 100 hours for first violation, 200 hours for second violation within five years, and 300 hours for third or subsequent violations within five years.

Creates a driver's license suspension mechanism allowing the board to certify non-compliant violators to the examiner of drivers, resulting in suspension or denial of motor vehicle operator's licenses until penalties are satisfied.

Requires the board to provide notice and a 30-day opportunity to cure before certifying non-compliance, and allows violators to request a hearing to contest the certification.

Takes effect upon approval and applies only to violations occurring after the effective date.
