Yes. The law states that gifts may take the form of services. The Hawaii State Ethics Commission should first be consulted as to whether the gift can be accepted. If acceptance is allowed, and if the gift of service meets the threshold requirements, then it must be reported. The value of the service is determined by a good faith estimate of the market value of the service.
