Part 5220.2960 - COMMISSIONER INTERIM NOTICES AND ORDERS

The commissioner may develop and publish commissioner interim notices and orders concerning matters within the authority of the department. Interim notices and orders do not have the force and effect of law, except where specifically authorized by statute, but may be relied upon by the public until revoked or modified to bind the department. The purpose of an interim notice or order is to provide uniform information and guidance to the public concerning department action. An interim notice or order may be relied upon to bind the department until a statute, Appellate Court decision, rule, or subsequent commissioner's notice or order conflicts with the notice or order, until the date stated in the notice or order, or until one year after publication, whichever occurs first. An interim notice or order under this part binds the department only if the published notice or order is clearly identified as an interim notice or order and is given an indexing number.
