HRS §342B-46

How to appeal a director's decision

If you disagree with a decision made by the director, you can appeal to the circuit environmental court in the county where you live, work, or where the issue happened. The appeal process follows the rules in chapter 91. A cease and desist order stays in effect during the appeal unless the court says otherwise.
