Section 4b-3(f)-6 - Intervention(a) A person shall be granted status as an intervening party if:(1) a statute confers a right to such status, provided that any conditions for party status specified in such statute have been satisfied; or(2) such person has filed a written request stating facts which demonstrate that:(A) such person's legal rights, duties or privileges will or may reasonably be expected to be affected by the decision in the proceeding;(B) such person will or may reasonably be expected to be significantly affected by the decision in the proceeding; or(C) such person's participation is necessary to the proper disposition of the proceeding.(b) A person may be granted status as an intervenor if such person has filed a written request stating facts which demonstrate that such person's participation is in the interests of justice and will not impair the orderly conduct of the proceeding.(c) A request for status as a party or intervenor under this subsection shall be filed no later than five days before the date of the first scheduled hearing, if one has been scheduled, except that such five-day requirement may be waived by the Board at any time before or after the commencement of the hearing for good cause shown. The request shall be served upon all parties and intervenors and any person known to have filed a request for status as a party or intervenor but whose request has not yet been disposed of.(d) Unless otherwise provided by the Board, any objections to a request for party or intervenor status shall be filed within seven days of the service of the request for party or intervenor status.(e) A ruling on a request for status as a party or intervenor shall be provided to the person filing the request, all parties and intervenors, and any person who has filed a request for status as a party or intervenor but whose request has not yet been disposed of.(f) The Board may restrict the participation of a person granted intervenor status under subdivision (b) of this subsection, although only to the extent necessary to promote justice and the orderly conduct of the proceeding. If a request for intervenor status under subdivision (b) of this subsection is granted, the Board shall in its ruling on the request define (1) the issues with respect to which the intervenor may participate and (2) the intervenor's rights to introduce evidence and offer argument, and to cross-examine witnesses. The Board may at any time amend its initial ruling concerning an intervenor's participation.(g) Except for good cause shown, a person granted status as a party or intervenor under this subsection is bound by the Board's rulings issued as of the time such person files a request for party or intervenor status. Unless otherwise restricted pursuant to section 4b-3(f) -6, after a person's request for party or intervenor has been granted, such person shall have the same rights, obligations, and privileges as all other parties and intervenors.Conn.
