Licensing & Professional Standards

Hawaii regulates dozens of professions through licensing boards housed within the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. From dentists and electricians to real estate agents and contractors, each board sets examination standards, issues licenses, investigates complaints, and enforces disciplinary actions. These boards meet publicly, and their decisions affect who can practice a profession in the state, how consumer complaints are resolved, and what continuing education practitioners must complete. Residents, practitioners, and professional associations can testify at board meetings to shape the standards that govern their industries.
