I looked up HRS 705-500(1)(b):
http://law.justia.com/codes/hawaii/2009/...5-0500-htm
"ยง705-500 Criminal attempt. (1) A person is guilty of an attempt to commit a crime if the person:
(b) Intentionally engages in conduct which, under the circumstances as the person believes them to be, constitutes a substantial step in a course of conduct intended to culminate in the person's commission of the crime."
Clear as mud. I think it means carrying out some act which helps enable the commission of the crime. E.g., if someone robs a bank, then if they acquired a gun and masks beforehand, they might get charged with this.
Oink - the VLBA site is a government facility. I'm not sure if that comes under public utilities or not or if it makes any difference at all.
