RELATING TO ELECTIONS. Allows the elections commission to refer a complaint to the attorney general or county prosecutor in addition to any administrative determination and without the requirement that the commission believes the respondent has recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally committed a violation. Disqualifies a person convicted of violating elections criminal prosecution laws from holding elective public office for ten years, rather than four. Repeals language stipulating that elections criminal prosecution law does not apply to any person who has paid or agreed to pay fines related to report filing violations and advertisement violations prior to the commencement of the proceedings.

Precludes civil actions or proceedings for money damages against the employee, except for claims based on liability other than an employee's scope of employment with the State or other employer. Clarifies liability when the State agrees to assume full or partial responsibility in a civil action against a professional licensed or certified employee.

RELATING TO FALSE CLAIMS TO THE STATE. Amends false claims statute, section 661-21 (a), Hawaii Revised Statutes, to increase civil monetary penalty minimum and maximum amounts to maintain consistency with federal law so that the State can continue to maximize it's recoveries in cases where State money is taken illegally and False Claims Act prosecution is successful.

|
RELATING TO TAX APPEALS. Replaces the tax boards of review with a single tax appeal review panel comprised of members who shall devote full time to their duties.
