Section 15-16-43 - Refusal to issue declaratory ruling(a) The authority may refuse to issue a declaratory ruling for good cause.(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the authority may so refuse where: (1) The question is speculative or purely hypothetical and does not involve existing fact, or facts which can reasonably be expected to exist in the near future.(2) The petitioner's interest is not a type which would give him standing to maintain an action if he were to seek judicial relief.(3) The issuance of the declaratory ruling may adversely affect the interests of the State, the authority, or any of their officers or employees, in litigation which is pending or may reasonably be expected to arise.[Eff 1/21/83, comp 9/8/86] (Auth: HRS §§ 91-8, 206E-4) (Imp: HRS §§ 91-8, 206E-4)
