Mr. Kawakami, Incorrect Assumption
-
HK Medicinal is a business registered with the (State of Hawaii) Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs. The business status is active. Regardless if the business did or did not receive a permit to grow and sell medical cannabis, Mr. Kawakami is still obligated to report his interest in the business. Even if he learned of his new interest, after his father passed away, the ethical course of action would be to file an amended financial disclosure with the Kauai County.
