Planning and permitting department's policy of refusing to publicly disclose developer's engineering reports prior to their approval constituted a "rule"; as this policy was not "published or made available for public inspection" nor did plaintiff have actual knowledge of the policy prior to its initial request for the reports, department did not comply with this chapter and was proscribed from invoking this policy; thus, department violated this chapter by refusing to publicly disclose any unaccepted engineering reports and written comments, and all of its files, including developer's file, were public records that could be examined upon request. 119 H. 90, 194 P.3d 531.

 §91-6 Petition for adoption, amendment or repeal of rules. Any interested person may petition an agency requesting the adoption, amendment, or repeal of any rule stating reasons therefor.

HI Rev Stat § 91-8 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 8. Public Proceedings and Records|91. Administrative Procedure|91-8 Declaratory rulings by agencies.

 §91-8 Declaratory rulings by agencies. Any interested person may petition an agency for a declaratory order as to the applicability of any statutory provision or of any rule or order of the agency. Each agency shall adopt rules prescribing the form of the petitions and the procedure for their submission, consideration, and prompt disposition. Orders disposing of petitions in such cases shall have the same status as other agency orders. [L 1961, c 103, §8; Supp, §6C-8; HRS §91-8] Case Notes  Hawaii public employment relations board was empowered to make declaratory ruling regarding whether violation of collective bargaining agreement is a prohibited practice. 60 H. 436, 591 P.2d 113.  Where an agency employee's only interest in obtaining a declaratory ruling from that agency stems from his or her work as an agency employee, that interest is insufficient to satisfy this section's standing requirements; where executive director's interest in filing the petition stemmed from the director's work as executive director, the Hawaii civil rights commission did not have jurisdiction to issue a declaratory order on the petition. 104 H. 158, 86 P.3d 449.  Orders disposing of petitions for declaratory rulings under this section are appealable to the circuit court pursuant to §91-14; thus, circuit court had proper jurisdiction to review Hawaii labor relations board order. 107 H. 178, 111 P.3d 587.  As both the title and the pertinent text make clear, the declaratory ruling procedure of this section is meant to provide a means of seeking a determination of whether and in what way some statute, agency rule, or order, applies to the factual situation raised by an interested person; it was not intended to allow review of concrete agency decisions for which other means of review are available. 114 H. 184, 159 P.3d 143.  Where insurance commissioner's decision was appealable pursuant to §91-14 because it was an order disposing of a petition brought pursuant to this section, and plaintiff was a "person aggrieved" by the commissioner's decision because it faced increased competition from allegedly improperly licensed competitors in the managed care plan contract process, and the decision held that plaintiff's competitors were in fact properly licensed to offer the services required under those contracts, plaintiff had standing to appeal the insurance commissioner's decision. 126 H. 326, 271 P.3d 621.  Out-of-state sex offender's pro se letter to state Attorney General inquiring as to whether the offender's offense was a "covered offense" that triggered a requirement to register if the offender vacationed in Hawaii should have been liberally construed as a petition for a declaratory ruling, notwithstanding that the offender mis-cited the appropriate statutory provision, where offender's letter to the appropriate agency unequivocally and timely sought to initiate administrative proceedings provided for by statute. 135 H. 390, 351 P.3d 1156 (2015).
HI Rev Stat § 91-8.5 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 8. Public Proceedings and Records|91. Administrative Procedure|91-8.5 Mediation in contested cases.

  §91-8.5 Mediation in contested cases. (a) An agency may encourage parties to a contested case hearing under this chapter to participate in mediation prior to the hearing subject to conditions imposed by the agency in rules adopted in accordance with this chapter. The agency may suspend all further proceedings in the contested case pending the outcome of the mediation.  (b) No mediation period under this section shall exceed thirty days from the date the case is referred to mediation, unless otherwise extended by the agency.  (c) The parties may jointly select a person to conduct the mediation. If the parties are unable to jointly select a mediator within ten days of the referral to mediation, the agency shall select the mediator. All costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the parties unless otherwise agreed, ordered by the agency, or provided by law.  (d) No mediation statements or settlement offers tendered shall be admitted into any subsequent proceedings involving the case, including the contested case hearing or a court proceeding.  (e) No preparatory meetings, briefings, or mediation sessions under this section shall constitute a meeting under section 92-2. Any mediator notes under this section shall be exempt from section 92-21 and chapter 92F. Section 91-10 shall not apply to mediation proceedings. [L 2003, c 76, §1]

  §91-9.5 Notification of hearing; service. (a) Unless otherwise provided by law, all parties shall be given written notice of hearing by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested at least fifteen days before the hearing.  (b) Unless otherwise provided by law, if service by registered or certified mail is not made because of the refusal to accept service or the board or its agents have been unable to ascertain the address of the party after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the notice of hearing may be given to the party by publication at least once in each of two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation. The last published notice shall appear at least fifteen days prior to the date of the hearing. [L 1976, c 100, §1] Case Notes  For purposes of conducting a public hearing on a liquor license application, the notice provisions of §281-57 control over those in this section. 118 H. 320, 189 P.3d 432.
