Requests for Opinions

Requests for Opinions. Any person with direct substantial interest may make a written request for a declaratory opinion as to the applicability to specific circumstances of a statute, rule, or order administered by the agency or within its primary jurisdiction. The term „substantial interest‟ will include any person with direct involvement in implementing public programs or governmental activities for which the Office of the State Auditor is responsible. The term „primary jurisdiction‟ means that the agency has a constitutional or statutory grant of authority in the subject matter being considered. Written requests for opinions may be sent in a letter form or may be e-mailed to the agency according to written website instructions. Each written request shall: (a) be set forth the specific facts on which the opinion is to be based; (b) be limited to a single transaction or occurrence; and (c) contain all relevant contact information
