Sec.12-562-53a. Procedure after petition for declaratory ruling filed

(a) Notice to other persons. The board or division may give notice to any person that such a declaratory ruling has been requested and may receive and consider data, facts, argument and opinions from persons other than the person requesting such ruling.

(b) Provision for hearing. If the division deems a hearing necessary or helpful in determining any issue concerning the request for declaratory ruling, the division shall schedule such hearing and give such notice thereof as shall be appropriate. The provisions of Sections 12-576-20a through 12-576-45a, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies govern the practice and procedure of the division in any hearing concerning the issuance of a declaratory ruling.

(c) Decision on petition, ruling denied. If the board or division determines that a declaratory ruling will not be rendered, the board or division shall within thirty (30) days thereafter notify the person so inquiring that the request has been denied and furnish a statement of the reasons on which the board or division relied in so declining.

(d) Decision on petition, ruling granted. If the board or division renders a declaratory ruling, a copy of the ruling shall be sent to the person requesting it and to that person's attorney, if applicable, and to any other person who has filed a written request for a copy with the board or division.

(e) Approval of board. If the request for a declaratory ruling is directed to the division and the division determines to issue such ruling in compliance with such request, the approval of the board to such recommended ruling is a prerequisite to its issuance by the division.
