Honolulu Mayor Signs New Laws Targeting Illegal Game Rooms

Last Thursday, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi signed into law three bills â Bills 11, 12 and 13 â each of which are related to illegal gambling in the county.
The first, Bill 11, sets requirements on âelectronic amusement devicesâ in public establishments. Operators of the establishment are now required to obtain a permit from the Honolulu Police Chief to use such a device on the premises, or else forfeit the device.
The Police Chief could deny a permit application if the proposed location of the device âwould be reasonably likely to result in an increase in criminal activity, vandalism, litter, noise or traffic congestion,â according to the bill. The bill also requires anyone with a permit to allow a police officer to enter the premises and inspect the device and other records.
Meanwhile, Bill 12 allows the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting to deny permit applications for properties that have been cited for a gambling-related public nuisance within the previous two years.
And Bill 13 allows landlords to request a police escort while inspecting a private property for nuisance claims, with the accompanying officers authorized to document law violations or unsafe conditions, and to warn people not authorized to be there to leave.
In tandem, the three bills are meant to clamp down on illicit gambling rooms, which often become hotspots for associated complaints of criminal behavior.
