Haw. Code R. § 11-185-33 - Intervention

(a) Any person not a party to the public hearing may seek to become a party by filing a motion for leave to intervene. The motion shall state the grounds upon which the person claims to have an interest in the proceeding. At least ten days before the hearing, the person shall file the motion with the agency and shall serve the motion upon all parties or their attorneys. Except for good cause shown, the hearing officer shall disregard any motion that is not timely filed and served.

(b) The hearing officer may permit intervention if the hearing officer determines:

(1) That the person seeking to become a party may be bound by the decision to be issued in the proceeding or has a property or financial interest that may not be adequately represented by existing parties; and

(2) That intervention will not unduly broaden the issues or delay the public hearing.

(c) The hearing officer may permit intervention to such extent and upon such terms as the hearing officer may deem proper.
