The question is speculative or purely hypothetical and does not involve existing fact, or facts which can reasonably be expected to exist in the near future. The issuance of the declaratory ruling may adversely affect the interests of the State, the authority, or any of their officers or employees, in litigation which is pending or may reasonably be expected to arise. Where a question of law is involved, the authority may refer the matter to the attorney general. The authority may also obtain assistance from other agencies, when necessary or desirable. The petitioner shall be informed by the authority by certified mail upon the disposition of the petition.
Orders disposing of petitions have the same status as other authority orders.
Orders shall be applicable only to the fact situation alleged in the petition or set forth in the order. They shall not be applicable to different fact situations or where additional facts not considered in the order exist. The authority shall render a decision on a petition for declaratory ruling upon receipt of a complete petition but in no event later than the second regular monthly meeting at which it could have properly noticed consideration of the petition on its agenda. 2000 State of Hawaii - Hawaii Community Development Authority.
