HAR §8-2-2. Filing of documents

(a) All pleadings, submittals, petitions, reports, exceptions, briefs, memoranda, and other papers required to be filed with the board in any proceeding shall be filed with the board chairperson. The papers may be sent by mail or hand-carried to the board's office within the time limit, if any, for the filing. The date on which the paper is actually received by the board shall be deemed to be the date of filing. (b) All papers filed with the board shall be written in ink, typewritten, mimeographed, or printed; shall be plainly legible; shall be on strong durable paper; not larger than 8 1/2" x 14" in size, except that tables, charts and other documents may be larger, folded to the size of the documents to which they are attached. (c) All papers shall be signed in ink by the party signing the papers or the party's duly authorized agent or attorney. The signature of the person signing the document constitutes a certification that the person has read the document; that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief every statement contained in the instrument is true and no statements are misleading; and that it is not interposed for delay. (d) Unless otherwise specifically provided by a particular chapter or order of the board, an original and twelve copies of all papers shall be filed unless the papers are printed or mimeographed, in which case twenty-five copies shall be filed. (e) The initial document filed by any person in any proceeding shall state on the first page thereof who may be served with any documents filed in the proceeding. [Eff.
