Haw. Code R. § 13-231-15 - Boat owner required to report change of ownership, address, and other changes

(a) The owner of any vessel moored, stored, or left in a small boat harbor or offshore mooring area shall notify the department in writing within seven days if:

(1) The owner no longer has possession of the vessel;

(2) All or any interest in the vessel is transferred to another person or persons;

(3) The owner's address or telephone number changes;

(4) The vessel is chartered, leased, or rented; or

(5) There is any change of agents or their telephone numbers or addresses.

(b) The new possessor or owner of any interest in any vessel moored in a small boat harbor or offshore mooring area shall within seven days after acquiring the same, inform the department in writing concerning the acquisition. If the vessel is owned by a corporation, the duties and obligations of the "owner" as prescribed in this section devolve upon the person who owns or controls a majority of the stock of the corporation. If there is no such ownership or control, the corporation must perform the duties and obligations. "Transfer" includes any change in control, by whatever means, of any entity that owns or controls, directly or indirectly, a use permit.

(c) Evidence of any wilful misstatement or omission of fact regarding the ownership of a vessel moored in a state small boat harbor or offshore mooring area, or regarding transfer of ownership of a corporation or other business entity to which a mooring permit, commercial use permit, catamaran registration certificate, or other permit has been issued, including failure to notify the department of a change of ownership, shall be cause for immediate termination of all permits and catamaran registration certificates held by the parties involved, and may be a bar against the issuance of any permit or catamaran registration certificates in the future.
