HAR §12-42-49. Hearing

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, and insofar as it is not inconsistent with section 377-9, HRS, the procedure for hearing on prohibited practices shall be governed by the provisions of subchapter 1. (b) Where the respondent desires to waive hearing on the allegations set forth in the complaint and not to contest the proceeding, the answer may consist of a statement that respondent refrains from contesting the proceeding and consents that the board may make, enter and serve upon respondent an order to cease and desist. (c) No person shall be excused from attending and testifying or from producing books, records, correspondence, documents, or other evidence in obedience to a subpoena issued by the board on the ground that the testimony or evidence required may tend to incriminate such person or subject such person to penalty or forfeiture under the law of the State, but such person shall not be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, matter or thing concerning which such person may testify or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise, in such proceedings. Such person so testifying shall not be exempt, however, from prosecution and punishment for perjury committed in so testifying. [Eff.
