11 Attorney General's powers and duties over charitable trusts to
 
12 all organizations and fiduciaries holding property for charitable
 
13 purposes, (2) to ensure that trustees and others holding property
 
14 for charitable purposes properly administer, register and report
 
15 on the existence of property held for charitable purposes to the
 
16 Attorney General, (3) to provide specific enforcement mechanisms
 
17 and rule-making authority for the Attorney General to carry-out
 
18 her common law supervisory powers and duties over charitable
 
19 trusts and organizations, and (4) to provide public access to the

 3 this Act, and its registration is canceled as provided in this
 
 4 Act, and if that trust or organization remains in existence and

 1 authorized or required to be applied to a charitable purpose, and
 
 2 prior to disbursements, a copy of the trust, articles of
 
 3 incorporation or other written instrument providing for the
 
 4 trustee's title, powers or duties.  In the event a trustee
 
 5 subject to this Act is holding property for charitable purposes
 
 6 under no such written instrument, such trustee nevertheless shall
 
 7 file, in lieu of such instrument, a statement in writing setting
 
 8 forth his title, powers and duties.  If any part of the income or
 
 9 principal is authorized or required to be applied to a charitable
 
10 purpose, whether a remainder interest or charitable lead
 
11 interest, at the time this Act takes effect, the filing shall be
 
12 made within six months after the effective date of this Act.
 
13      (b) If the settlor is still living, any trust which is
 
14 registered because it is a charitable lead or remainder trust and
 
15 the charitable interest has not matured, whether revocable or
 
16 irrevocable, may be registered as a confidential registration.  A
 
17 confidential registration means that the Attorney General shall
 
18 hold the file confidentially and not make any filing therein
 
19 public, unless necessary and pursuant to litigation.  The
 
20 Attorney General may disclose a confidential registration for
 
21 statistical purposes if all indications of name and identity are
 
22 redacted.

 4           (1)  the IRS tax return of the charitable organization,
 
 5           (2)  the IRS tax returns of all majority-owned
 
 6                subsidiaries or other organizations, and
 
 7           (3)  such other information necessary or appropriate
 
 8                for the enforcement and supervision of, or public
 
 9                access to, the charitable organization as provided
 
10                by rule.
 
11      (b) The Attorney General may make rules and regulations as
 
12 to the time for filing reports, the contents thereof, and the
 
13 manner of executing and filing them.  The Attorney General may
 
14 classify trusts and other organizations concerning property held
 
15 for a charitable purpose as to purpose, nature of assets,
 
16 duration of the trust or organization, amount of assets, amounts
 
17 to be devoted to charitable purposes, nature of trustee, or
 
18 otherwise, and may establish different rules for the different
 
19 classes as to time and nature of the reports required to the ends
 
20 (1) that the Attorney General shall receive current, annual
 
21 reports as to all charitable trusts or other relationships of a
 
22 similar nature, which will enable the Attorney General to
 
23 ascertain whether they are being properly administered, and (2)

 1 that periodic reports shall not unreasonably add to the expense
 
 2 of the administration of charitable trusts and organizations. The
 
 3 Attorney General may suspend the filing of reports as to a
 
 4 particular charitable trust or organization for a reasonable,
 
 5 specifically designated time upon written application of the
 
 6 trustee filed with the Attorney General, and after the Attorney
 
 7 General has filed in the register of charitable trusts a written
 
 8 statement that the interests of the beneficiaries will not be
 
 9 prejudiced thereby and that periodic reports are not required for
 
10 proper supervision by his office.
 
11      (c) The Attorney General may cancel the registration of any
 
12 trust or organization that wilfully fails to comply with
 
13 subsection (a) of this Section within the time prescribed, and
 
14 the assets of the organization may through court proceedings be
 
15 collected, debts paid and proceeds distributed under court
 
16 supervision to other charitable purposes upon an action filed by
 
17 the Attorney General as law and equity allow.  Upon timely
 
18 written request, the due date for filing may be extended by the
 
19 Attorney General for a period of 60 days.  Notice of registration
 
20 cancellation shall be mailed by regular mail to the registrant at
 
21 the registration filing address or to its registered agent or
 
22 president 21 days before the effective date of cancellation.

 8                Hawaii shall be subject to the fee due under this
 
 9                subsection.  For the purpose of calculating the
 
10                fee due under this subsection, the fund balance
 
11                shall not include the value of fixed assets held

 1 Attorney General, obedience to the order may be enforced by the
 
 2 circuit or probate court in the county where the person receiving
 
 3 it resides or is found, in the same manner as though the notice

 5 order issued by the Attorney General, issue an order requiring
 
 6 such person to appear before the Attorney General or to produce
 
 7 documentary evidence, if so ordered, or to give evidence relating
 
 8 to the matter in question, and any failure to obey such order of
 
 9 the court may be punishable as a contempt of court.  Witnesses

18 register, copies of instruments, and the reports filed with the
 
19 Attorney General shall be open to public inspection.  Charitable
 
20 organizations shall be subject to Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter
 
21 92F because opening up the charitable processes to public
 
22 scrutiny and participation is the only viable and reasonable
 
23 method of protecting the public's interest.

12 $500,000 in annual income or $5 million in assets shall be
 
13 subject to the supervisory power of the probate court and
 
14 required to account to the probate court in the manner provided
 
15 by Hawaii Revised Statutes section 554-4.  Failure without good
 
16 cause to comply with any order of any court shall constitute
 
17 grounds for removal of the officers and directors of a charitable
 
18 organization or trustees of a charitable trust and the
 
19 appointment by the court of successor officers and directors or
 
20 trustees.

12 during the year.  Notwithstanding any confidentiality provisions

20 or compliance with the provisions of this Act, the court having
 
21 jurisdiction of such proceedings may require the payment of all

 7      §   -17  Injunctive relief. In any action in which the
 
 8 Attorney General alleges that a charitable trust or organization
 
 9 needs to be protected or the trustees of a charitable trust or
 
10 organization have breached their fiduciary duties, and injunctive
 
11 relief and removal of trustees is sought, the circuit or probate
 
12 courts shall exercise their discretion as the equities require
 
13 and may, as a part of injunctive relief, and after a hearing
 
14 where the trustees shall have an opportunity to be heard, appoint
 
15 temporarily or permanently a receiver or additional trustees to
 
16 protect and operate the trust or organization and may
 
17 temporarily, or as ultimate relief for breach of duty or to
 
18 protect the trust or organization, permanently remove any
 
19 trustee, officer, director or member from office and appoint
 
20 replacements to protect the public interest.  The public interest
 
21 is paramount and the stewardship of a charitable organization is
