Section 20 CSR 4240-2.075 - Intervention

(1) A motion to intervene or add new member(s) shall be filed within thirty (30) days after the commission issues its order giving notice of the case, unless otherwise ordered by the commission.

(2) A motion to intervene or add new member(s) shall include:

(3) The commission may grant a motion to intervene or add new member(s) if-

(4) If the commission grants intervention to an association, other than an incorporated association or other entity created by statute, the commission is not granting intervention to the "association," but is granting intervention to the individual members of the association.

(5) For purposes of 4 CSR 240-2.080(16), service upon counsel for an association satisfies the requirement for service upon the individual members of the association.

(6) If any member(s) of an association, other than an incorporated association or other entity created by statute, that is a party to any case before the commission withdraws from the association during the pendency of a case, the association must file a notice of the member's(s') withdrawal in the official case file within five (5) days of the member's(s') withdrawal.

(7) If an association, other than an incorporated association or other entity created by statute, that is a party to any case before the commission wants to add an additional member(s) during the pendency of that case, the association must file a motion to add new member(s).

(8) If the commission finds that the name of any association, other than an incorporated association or other entity created by statute, seeking intervention in a case before the commission could lead to confusion or misidentification of that association or its members, the commission may order that the association be identified by an alternate name in that case.

(9) The commission may limit an intervention to particular issues or interests in a case.

(10) Motions to intervene or add new member(s) filed after the intervention date may be granted upon a showing of good cause. Any motion so filed must include a definitive statement whether or not the entity seeking intervention or to be added as a new member accepts the record established in that case, including the requirements of any orders of the commission, as of the date the motion is filed.

(11) Any person not a party to a case may petition the commission for leave to file a brief as an amicus curiae. The petition for leave must state the petitioner's interest in the matter and explain why an amicus brief is desirable and how the matters asserted are relevant to the determination of the case. The brief may be submitted simultaneously with the petition. Unless otherwise ordered by the commission, the brief must be filed no later than the initial briefs of the parties and comply with all applicable briefing requirements. If leave to file a brief as an amicus curiae is granted, the brief shall be deemed filed on the date submitted. An amicus curiae may not file a reply brief.
