Section 30-6-A8a - Offer in compromise in lieu of a hearing; citations

(a) Whenever the department obtains information or evidence of an alleged violation of the regulations or of the general statutes on any permit premises, and such alleged violation is of a nature to cause institution of proceedings directed to the suspension or revocation of the permit, the department may, at its discretion, accept a petition from the permittee or backer as an offer in compromise in an amount determined by the department. Acceptance of petitioner's offer by the department shall constitute a waiver of petitioner's right to a hearing before the department and any right of appeal to a court with respect to charges pending before the department. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed in any manner as a prejudgment on the part of the department but is instituted for the purpose of benefiting both the permittee and the department in terms of the saving of time, expense and energy.

Returns received within fourteen days of issuance will be considered for acceptance by the department. Acceptance of a permittee's return and offer shall constitute a waiver of the permittee's right to notice of hearing before the department, and any right to appeal to a court with respect to the charges. If no return is made, or if the offer is not accepted, such events shall not be construed in any manner to prejudge further proceedings before the agency. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed in any manner as a prejudgment on the part of the department, but it is instituted for the purpose of benefiting both the permittee and the department in terms of the saving of time, expense and energy.
