Haw. Code R. § 16-601-44 - Rulings
(a) The presiding officer shall rule on the
admissibility of evidence and on any oral motions made in the course of the
hearing. The presiding officer may issue a ruling after taking the matter under
advisement. The presiding officer's rulings may be reviewed by the commission
in determining matters on their merit. In extraordinary circumstances where
prompt decision by the commission is necessary to promote justice, the
presiding officer may refer the question of admissibility or any motion to the
commission for determination.
(b)
When objections are made to the admission or exclusion of evidence, the grounds
relied upon shall be stated briefly. Formal exceptions to rulings are
unnecessary and need not be taken.
(c) An offer of proof for the record shall
consist of a statement of the substance of the evidence to which objection has
been sustained.
