HRS §412:3-205
When a public comment meeting is held
This section says the commissioner decides whether to hold a public comment meeting on an application. If one is held, the commissioner must tell the applicant and anyone who asked for the meeting at least ten days before it happens.
The statute, as written — Informational and comment proceeding on application
(a) An informational and comment proceeding on the application shall not be mandatory and whether an informational and comment proceeding is held shall be within the commissioner's discretion, regardless of whether any person has requested one. (b) If the commissioner determines that an informational and comment proceeding is warranted, the commissioner shall notify the applicant and every person who has requested an informational and comment proceeding of the time, date, and place of the proceeding at least ten days prior to the proceeding.
