The Commission may issue an advisory ruling pursuant to 5 M.R.S.A. §9001 concerning the applicability to an existing factual situation of any statutes or rules it administers. Each request shall be reviewed individually by the Director to determine whether an advisory ruling is appropriate. The Director may decline the request for an advisory ruling when the question is hypothetical, if there is insufficient experience upon which to base a ruling, or for any other reason deemed proper. The denial of a request may be appealed to the Commission by providing written notice to the Director within twenty (20) days following the denial.
