There is no statutory right to a hearing on a request for relief pursuant to N.J.S.A. 33:1-12.18. The Director may grant or deny a Special Ruling based solely on the information provided in the Verified Petition. However, if the Director determines that there is a factual dispute, the Director may either conduct a hearing or transmit the matter to the Office of Administrative Law for a hearing. That hearing shall be governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq., and the Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules, N.J.A.C. 1:1.
