Haw. Code R. § 6-200-32

Current through November, 2024

Section 6-200-32 - Consideration and disposition of petition

The council shall, within a reasonable time after the submission of the petition, either deny the petition, stating the reasons therefor, or issue a declaratory ruling. The council may refuse to issue a declaratory ruling where:

(1) The question is speculative or purely hypothetical and does not involve an existing situation or one which may reasonably be expected to occur in the near future;

(2) The petitioner's interest is not of the type which confers sufficient standing to maintain an action in a court of law; or

(3) The petition requests a ruling on a statutory provision not administered by the council or the matter is not otherwise within the jurisdiction of the council.

Upon disposition of the petition, the council shall promptly notify the petitioner of the council's ruling and of the petitioner's right to appeal the ruling to the circuit court if the decision is adverse to the petitioner.
