Disputes

Departments must make a good faith effort to resolve any dispute arising under 815 CMR 6.00 within 30 calendar days using all appropriate internal procedures including seeking assistance from their respective secretariats, but in no event shall this resolution period extend beyond May 30th in any fiscal year. In the event the Departments are unable to resolve a dispute within the stated period, either Department may request assistance from the Office of the Comptroller to resolve the dispute or to provide a determination as to the application or interpretation of 815 CMR 6.00.
