A. Nothing in these rules shall be construed as prohibiting the board from holding informal proceedings, hearings, or conferences for the purpose of aiding the board in ascertaining and determining facts necessary for the performance of its duties. Any person who is aggrieved by any action or determination of the board following such an informal proceeding, hearing, or conference, and who is otherwise entitled thereto, may file a petition requesting the promulgation, amendment, or repeal of a rule, or may file a petition to initiate an adjudication proceeding, under applicable provisions of these rules. Such petitions for exercise of the rulemaking process or for adjudication shall be handled by the board de novo.
