BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 189-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§189-2 Commercial marine license. (a) The department of land and natural resources shall issue commercial marine licenses for the taking of marine life for commercial purposes. The department may establish different subtypes of commercial marine licenses, including but not limited to fishery and gear specific commercial licenses, commercial fishing vessel licenses, and professional or part-time commercial fishing licenses, and specify the requirements and qualifications for the issuance of these subtype licenses.
(b) No person shall take marine life for commercial purposes whether the marine life is caught or taken within or outside of the State, without first obtaining a commercial marine license or subtype license, if applicable, as provided in this section.
[(b)] (c) Additionally, any
person providing vessel charter services in the State for the taking of marine
life in or outside of the State shall obtain a commercial marine license[.]
or subtype license, if applicable.
[(c)] (d) The department may
adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 necessary for the purpose of this section
and to set fees for commercial marine licensing.
[(d)] (e) The fees for
commercial marine licenses and duplicate commercial marine licenses shall be
established by the department by rules adopted in accordance with chapter 91.
[(e)] (f) The department shall
suspend, shall refuse to renew, reinstate, or restore, or shall deny any
license issued under this section if the department has received certification
from the child support enforcement agency pursuant to section 576D-13 that the
licensee or applicant is not in compliance with an order of support or has
failed to comply with a subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support
proceeding. The department shall issue, renew, reinstate, or restore such a
license only upon receipt of authorization from the child support enforcement
agency, the office of child support hearings, or the family court.
[(f)] (g) The department shall
not renew or reinstate, or shall deny or suspend any license or application, if
the department has received certification from an administering entity pursuant
to chapter 436C that the licensee or applicant is in default or breach of any
obligation under any student loan, student loan repayment contract, or
scholarship contract that financed the licensee's or applicant's education, or
has failed to comply with a repayment plan.
The department in receipt of a certification pursuant to chapter 436C shall, as applicable, and without further review or hearing:
(1) Suspend the license;
(2) Deny the application or request for renewal of the license; or
(3) Deny the request for reinstatement of the license,
and unless otherwise provided by law, shall renew, reinstate, or grant the license only upon receipt of an authorization from the administering entity."
