HAR §13-167-52. Request for hearing

(a) A hearing on a contested matter may be requested by the commission on its own motion or upon the written petition of any government agency or interested person. An oral or written request for a contested case hearing must be made by the close of the public hearing (if one is required) or the commission meeting at which the matter is scheduled for disposition (if no public hearing is required).

The commission may extend the time for submitting a written petition for an additional ten days if necessary. (b) A petition requesting a contested case hearing shall contain concise statements of: (1) The legal authority under which the proceeding, hearing or action is to be held or made; (2) The petitioner's interest that may be affected; (3) The disagreement, denial, or grievance which is being contested by the petitioner; (4) The basic facts and issues raised; (5) The relief to which the party or petitioner seeks or deems itself entitled; and (6) The identification of any and all other persons who may or will be affected by the relief which petitioner seeks.
