With any request for waiver the LHA shall submit to EOHLC a detailed written statement setting out why the waiver is needed and the benefit(s) anticipated from the waiver. The LHA shall provide a copy of the request for waiver with any supporting documentation to the LTO in a matter affecting the rights, status, or duties of Residents. Within 30 days, any affected LTO may submit to EOHLC a detailed written statement why a requested waiver should be denied. EOHLC, in its discretion may approve a waiver if it determines that good cause exists for the waiver which will likely have significant benefit and will likely serve a public purpose.
