Criminal Penalties (HRS § 92F-17)
Unless a greater penalty is otherwise provided for by law, it is a
misdemeanor for an agency’s offi cer or employee to intentionally
disclose or provide a copy of a government record, or any confi -
dential information explicitly described by specifi c confi dentiality
statutes, to any person or agency with actual knowledge that the
disclosure is prohibited.
It is also a misdemeanor for a person to intentionally gain access
to or obtain a copy of a government record or confi dential infor-
mation by false pretense, bribery, or theft, with actual knowledge
that access is prohibited.
Criminal penalties may be pursued by the state Attorney General’s
offi ce or the county Prosecuting Attorney’s offi ce, not OIP.
