Hawai‘i State Ethics Commission

Lobbyists and lobbying organizations cannot give gifts to legislators or their staff if those gifts could reasonably be seen as influencing or rewarding official action, such as expensive meals, trips, and invitations to social/entertainment functions. (There are very limited exceptions).

Lobbyists cannot make campaign contributions to elected officials, candidates, or candidate committees while the legislature is in session, and for five days before and after the session.

Lobbyists cannot accept payments that are contingent on the outcome of any legislative or administrative action.
