ADMINISTRATIVE RULES

TITLE 17 – DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

Disclaimer

Administrative rules promulgated pursuant to requirements of Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 91 have the force and effect of law. Administrative rules supply guidelines by which the Department implements programs it administers. The following administrative rules are provided for general information purposes and to promote access of rules to the community. These rules are official copies, but may conform to format requirements designated by the revisor of statutes under Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 9 1-4.2. These copies compile changes within a chapter rather than separately accumulating the changes as with official rules; the content of the rules, however, is current. (Repealed rules are listed at the end of the page.) The Department of Human Services is not liable for any claims, damages and costs arising out of or in connection with the use of unofficial rules. Official rules are filed with the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
