Statutory Penalties Fines in Hawaii

In Hawaii, statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses are governed by Haw. Rev. Stat. § 706-640, which sets the maximum fine amounts and the conditions under which a court may impose them. This statute establishes a general framework for fines, including a default maximum for felonies, misdemeanors, and petty misdemeanors, and provides that a court may also order a fine in addition to or in lieu of imprisonment. The law includes specific provisions for calculating fines based on the defendant’s ability to pay and any gain derived from the offense. Exceptions and adjustments to the standard amounts are detailed in the statute itself. For a precise estimate of potential fines in a given case, the DocketMath calculator applies the statutory formula using the official source.
