HAR §15-15-34. Quasi-judicial proceedings; waiver or suspension of rules

(a) The intent and purpose of chapter 205, HRS, is to establish quasi-judicial procedures which would ensure the effective application of established state land use policies through an adversarial process in a hearing in which diverse interests will have an opportunity to present their views in an open and orderly manner. Accordingly, the commission expects all persons and parties to comply with this subchapter and chapter 91, HRS, so that the commission will have a full and complete record upon which it can render its decision. (b) For good cause shown the commission may waive or suspend any rule. No rule relating to jurisdictional matters shall be waived or suspended by the commission.
