Chapter 9 - ADVISORY RULINGS
Section 380-9-1 - Authority and Scope

The Board of Nursing may issue advisory rulings pursuant to Title 5, Maine Revised Statutes, § 9001, concerning the applicability of any statute or rule it administers to an existing factual situation. Advisory rulings will be issued at the Board's discretion and only upon request. Each request will be individually reviewed to determine whether an advisory ruling is appropriate. The Board may decline to issue an advisory ruling if the question is hypothetical, if there is insufficient experience upon which to base a ruling, or for any other reason the Board deems proper.
