Right to Hearing

Right to Hearing. Any Affected Person may, within ten (10) calendar days of publication of the staff analysis, request a public hearing during the course of review. A request for hearing must be received by the Department no later than 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) calendar day after the date the staff analysis is published. If the tenth (10th) calendar day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday when the Department is closed for business, the request must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the next business day. An Applicant may request a hearing on its own application only if the staff recommendation is disapproval. If no request for a hearing is received, the State Health Officer may take action on the application. Nothing in this Manual creates a right to a hearing where no such right exists under applicable law.
