An excess contribution is any contribution over the legal limit.  If an excess contribution is returned within seven (7) days of receipt, the excess contribution is not required to be reported.  If you miss the seven (7) day return, the excess contribution must be reported on the applicable disclosure report and returned to the original contributor within thirty (30) days of receipt of the excess contribution.  Any excess contribution not returned to the original contributor within thirty (30) days shall escheat to the Hawaii Election Campaign Fund.  Call the Commission at (808) 586-0285 to report the excess contribution.
