HRS §431C-13

Rules for examination reports and responses

This section explains how examination reports are made and what happens after an exam. Reports must stick to facts and reasonable conclusions. The examiner files a report, the commissioner sends it to the licensee, who can respond or request a hearing within a set time.

The statute, as written — Examination reports

(a) Examination reports shall be comprised of only facts appearing upon the books, from the testimony of its officers, directors, employees, or agents or other persons examined concerning its affairs, and such conclusions and recommendations as the examiners find reasonably warranted from the facts. (b) No later than sixty days following completion of the examination, the examiner in charge shall file with the commissioner a verified written report of examination under oath. Upon receipt of the verified report, the commissioner shall transmit the report to the licensee examined, together with a notice that shall afford the licensee examined a reasonable opportunity of not more than thirty days to make a written submission or rebuttal with respect to any matters contained in the examination report and which shall become part of the report or to request a hearing on any matter in dispute. (c) In the event the commissioner determines that regulatory action is appropriate as a result of an examination, the commissioner may initiate any proceedings or actions provided by law.
