Haw. Code R. § 13-1-38 - Decisions and orders
(a) After all
evidence has been taken, the parties may submit, within the time set by the
presiding officer, a proposed decision and order which shall include proposed
findings of facts and conclusions of law. A party to the proceedings may submit
a proposed decision and order which shall include proposed findings of fact and
conclusions of law. The proposals shall be filed with the board and mailed to
each party to the proceeding not later than ten days after the transcript is
prepared and available, unless the presiding officer shall otherwise
prescribe.
(b) Within the time
established by law, if any, or within a reasonable time after the parties have
had an opportunity to file objections and exceptions, if applicable, to file
briefs and to present oral argument as may have been permitted, the board shall
render its findings of fact, conclusions of law and decision and order
approving the application, denying the application, or modifying the
application by imposing conditions. The vote of each member shall be recorded.
Upon agreement by the parties, the provisions of section
91-11,
HRS, concerning the examination of evidence and proposed decision, may be
waived pursuant to section
91-9(d),
HRS.
(c) Every decision and order
adverse to a party to the proceeding, rendered by the board in a contested
case, shall be in writing or stated in the record and shall be accompanied by
separate findings of fact and conclusions of law. If any party to the
proceeding has filed proposed findings of fact, the board shall incorporate in
its decision a ruling upon the proposed findings so presented.
(d) Decisions and orders shall be served by
mailing certified copies thereof to each party at the party's address of
record. When service is not accomplished by mail, it may be effected by
personal delivery of a certified copy. When a party to a contested case has
appeared by a representative or by counsel, service upon the representative or
counsel shall be deemed to be service upon the party.
