A Hawaii Petition for Declaratory Ruling is a legal procedure by which an individual or an organization can request a ruling from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) on the interpretation of a law, regulation, or policy. This petition is used to challenge a decision by the PUC and can also be used to clarify a particular issue and ensure that the PUC is making decisions in accordance with the law. There are two types of Hawaii Petition for Declaratory Ruling: the General Petition and the Limited Petition. The General Petition is used when the petitioner wants to challenge a decision or policy made by the PUC. This petition requires the petitioner to provide detailed information regarding the issue, including a clear statement of the facts, legal arguments, and any supporting evidence. The Limited Petition is used when the petitioner only wants to clarify a specific issue and does not require the same level of detail as the General Petition. Both the General and Limited Petitions require the petitioner to pay a filing fee and provide all necessary information regarding the issue. Once the petition is filed, the PUC will review the information and issue a ruling on the matter.
