Rule Details
| Rule Number: | 26P030 |
| Title: | Department of Financial Regulation Administrative Procedures Rule. |
| Type: | Standard |
| Status: | Proposed |
| Agency: | Department of Financial Regulation |
| Legal Authority: | 8 V.S.A. § 15(a); 9 V.S.A. § 5605 |
| Summary: | The rule sets forth DFR's procedures for contested cases and other administrative matters, including APA petitions of various types. It is an update to DFR's existing APA rule, intended to bring clarity to definitions and procedures. The amended rule more clearly delineates roles and responsibilities within DFR. The amendment also modernizes filing and service requirements. |
| Persons Affected: | Entities regulated by the Commissioner, including Vermont-domiciled financial institutions. Individuals holding licenses issued by the Commissioner, including insurance and securities professionals. Other financial services entities and individuals doing business in Vermont. |
| Economic Impact: | The economic impact is expected to be de minimis. The rule imposes no fees and creates no new obligations for regulated entities or licensed individuals. There is an existing DFR procedural rule and the revisions add no substantive compliance obligations. Having a clearer procedural rule is beneficial to regulated entities and the Department. |
