HRS §587A-27

§587A-27 Service plan. (a) The service plan shall provide:

(b) Services and assistance to the family that are required by a service plan shall be presented in a manner that can be understood by and does not overwhelm the parties.

(c) The court shall ensure that each term, condition, and consequence of the service plan has been thoroughly explained to, understood by, and agreed to by each member of the child's family whom the authorized agency deems to be necessary to the success of the service plan. The court shall thereafter order the service plan into effect and order the distribution of copies to each family member or person who is a party to the service plan. If a member of a child's family whom the authorized agency deems to be necessary to the success of the service plan cannot understand or refuses to agree to the terms, conditions, and consequences of the service plan, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine the terms, conditions, and consequences of a service plan that will ensure a safe home for the child.
