§91-4.2 Rule format; publication of index.
The revisor of statutes shall:
(1) Prescribe a single format for the publication,
filing, and indexing of rules by all state agencies. Among other things, the
revisor shall provide for the manner and form, including size, in which the
agency rules shall be prepared, printed, and indexed, to the end that all
rules, compilations, and codifications shall be prepared and published in a
uniform manner at the earliest practicable date. The format shall provide that
each rule published shall be accompanied by a reference to the statutory
authority pursuant to which the rule is adopted, the statutory section
implemented by the rule, if any, and the effective date of the rule; and
provide that whenever possible rules should incorporate any applicable sections
of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by reference and not print the section in the
rule. The stipulated format shall also provide for access by the public to all
of the rules with an index, both of which shall be located in the office of the
lieutenant governor.
(2) Compile and publish an index to all rules
required to be filed with the lieutenant governor with annual supplements. [L
