Hawaii Revised Statutes Division 1. Government § 145-2

No person shall act as a commission merchant, dealer, broker, agent, processor, or retail merchant without having obtained a license as prescribed by rules of the department.

In addition to the general requirements applicable to all classes of applications as prescribed by rule, the following requirements shall apply to each class of application noted:

Fraud or misrepresentation in making any application shall ipso facto work a revocation of any license granted thereunder. All indicia of the possession of a license shall be at all times the property of the State and each licensee shall be entitled to the possession thereof only for the duration of the license.

For filing the application for license, each applicant shall pay a fee as prescribed by the department.

Should any commission merchant, dealer, broker, agent, processor, or retail merchant refuse, fail, or neglect to apply for the renewal of a preexisting license within thirty days after the expiration thereof, a penalty of forty per cent shall apply to and be added to the original fee as prescribed by the department, and shall be paid by the applicant before the renewal license may be issued.

Any person who has applied for and obtained a license within the classification of commission merchant, in the manner and upon payment of the fee set forth, may apply for and secure a license in the other classifications without payment of further fee, and upon further complying with those provisions of this part regulating the licensing of the other particular classification involved. All licenses held by any licensee under this section shall automatically expire on the expiration date for the particular license for which the license fee was paid.
