Haw. Code R. § 23-201-7 - Time and method of registration

(a) Registration and re-registration fees shall be paid at the time when the application for registration or re-registration is submitted for filing. Payment shall be made in the form of a personal, certified or cashier's check or money order made payable to the narcotics enforcement division, department of public safety. Payment made in the form of stamps, foreign currency, or third party endorsed checks will not be accepted. No prorated or full refund will be issued once the certificate is processed. In the event that the application is not accepted for filing or is denied, the payment shall be refunded to the applicant.

(b) Any person who is required to obtain a permit and who has not obtained a permit from the department may apply for a permit at any time. No person required to obtain a permit shall engage in any transactions for which the permit is required, until the application for permit is granted and a permit is issued by the department to such person. All regulated chemical permit applications shall be processed by the department within sixty days after receipt of the completed application, including all requested documentation. In the absence of a national disaster, state emergency, or union strike which would prevent the department from reviewing the permit application, any application pending more than sixty days after receipt of the completed application shall be deemed granted.

(c) Each permit shall expire annually as noted on the permit. Any permittee may apply for renewal not earlier than sixty days prior to the expiration date of their permit. An additional fee of $25 shall be paid for renewal after the expiration date on the permit.

(d) Failure to obtain a permit from the department will prohibit the applicant from engaging in any activity utilizing regulated chemicals designated in section 329-61, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

(e) The administrator may require an applicant to submit such documents or written statements of fact relevant to the application as he deems necessary to determine whether the application should be granted. The failure of the applicant to provide such documents or statements within thirty days after being requested to do so shall be deemed to be a waiver by the applicant of an opportunity to present such documents or facts for consideration by the administrator in granting or denying the permit application.

(f) The failure to renew the permit on a timely basis or to pay the applicable fees or payment with a check that is dishonored upon first deoosit shall cause the permit to be automatically forfeited.
