SUBCHAPTER 4
PROCEDURES FOR RULEMAKING
§5-1-61
Petitions for adoption, amendment, or
repeal of rules. (a) Any interested person or any
agency of the state or county government may petition
the department for the adoption, amendment,
modification, or repeal of any rule which is designed
to implement, interpret, or prescribe law, policy,
procedure, or practice requirements of the department.
(b) Petitions for rulemaking action shall
conform to the requirements of section 5-1-35. The
petition shall set forth the text of the proposed rule
or amendment desired or specify the rule the repeal of
which is desired, state concisely the nature of the
petitioner's interest in the subject matter and the
reasons for seeking the adoption, amendment, or repeal
of the rule, and include any facts, views, arguments,
and data deemed relevant by the petitioner. The
department may also require the petitioner to serve
other persons or governmental agencies known to be
interested in the proposed rulemaking. No request for
the adoption, amendment, modification, or repeal of a
rule that does not conform to the requirements set
forth above shall be considered by the department.
(c) A petition for a change of rules shall be
given a docket number and shall become a matter of
public record upon filing. The department shall
within thirty days following the filing of the
petition either deny the petition in writing or
initiate the rulemaking procedure. No public hearing,
1-22
§5-1-61
oral argument, or other form of proceedings, shall be
held directly on any petition, but if the department
determines that a petition discloses sufficient
reasons in support of the relief requested to justify
the institution of a public hearing, the procedures to
be followed will be as set forth in sections 5-1-62 to
5-1-64. When the department determines that a
petition does not disclose sufficient reasons to
justify the institution of a public rulemaking action,
or when the petition for a change of rules fails in
material respect to comply with the requirements of
these rules, the petitioner shall be so notified
together with the grounds for such denial, or the
department may request additional data and supporting
authorities before proceeding on the petition.
Failure on the part of the petitioner to furnish data
or supporting authorities within the time specified in
the request shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of the
petition. The provisions of this section shall not
operate to prevent the department, on its own motion,
from acting on any matter set forth in any petition.
