R652-7-300. Petition and Intervention Procedure

1. Any person or agency may petition for a declaratory order. A petition will be denied summarily if the petitioner seeks an order concerning issues addressed in an agency adjudicative proceeding completed during the 12-month period preceding the petition date for which the petitioner had notice. A person may seek information on agency policies or positions without a formal request for a declaratory order. Information requests are handled expeditiously and without the procedural formality of the declaratory order process.

2. The petition shall be addressed and delivered to the director. Any person may petition for intervention within 30 days of the filing of a petition for a declaratory order or at least 30 days prior to a specified time established by agreement between the petitioner for a declaratory order and the agency, whichever is later.
