A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO LIQUOR LICENSES.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 281-53.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (a) and (b) to read as follows:
"(a) The respective county liquor commissions may request a criminal history record check covering the preceding ten-year period of an applicant for a liquor license in accordance with section 846-2.7; provided that neither a criminal history record check nor compliance with this section shall be required for the officers and directors of publicly-traded companies or entities ultimately solely owned by a publicly-traded company, who are not designated as primary decision-makers regarding the sale or purchase of liquor. The criminal history record check, at a minimum, shall require the applicant to disclose whether:
(1) The applicant has
been convicted in any jurisdiction at any time of a crime[; that
would tend to indicate the applicant may be unsuited for obtaining a liquor
license] related to products regulated by Chapter 51 or 52 of the Internal
Revenue Code or the Federal Alcohol Administration Act; and
(2) The judgment of conviction has not been vacated.
For the purpose of this section, the criminal history disclosure made by the applicant may be verified by the liquor commission by means of information obtained through the Hawaii criminal justice data center. The applicant shall provide the Hawaii criminal justice data center with personal identifying information which shall include but not be limited to the applicant's name, social security number, date of birth, and gender. This information shall be secured only for the purpose of conducting the criminal history record check authorized by this section.
(b) The applicant shall submit to the liquor commission:
(1) A statement signed under penalty of law as to
whether the applicant has ever been convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic
violation[;] within the last ten years;
(2) Written consent to request and obtain criminal history record information for verification; and
(3) Permission to be fingerprinted."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
