In the state of Hawaii, as in all 50 states, being found operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, of over .08 percent may result in a DUI conviction and associated penalties. A person who is found to have a BAC of .15 percent or higher may face aggravated penalties. Penalties may be also be enhanced if a person is found to be operating a vehicle under the influence with a passenger who is younger than the age of 15. In Hawaii, any minor found operating a vehicle with a BAC of .02 percent or higher is also subject to DUI laws with similar penalties, and commercial drivers in Hawaii are barred from operating a vehicle if they have a blood alcohol content of .04 percent or higher. In some cases, Hawaii DUI penalties may include the installation of an ignition interlock device, or IID. Since 2011, the cost of installation and leasing fee of the device must be paid for the person facing conviction. If a person’s license has been suspended, they may be eligible to receive a temporary permit that allows them to operate a vehicle if an IID is installed.
