ORS 823.037 Declaratory rulings

On petition of any interested person, the Department of Transportation may issue a declaratory ruling with respect to the applicability to any person, property, or state of facts of any rule or statute regarding motor carriers or railroads that is enforceable by the department. A declaratory ruling is binding between the department and the petitioner on the state of facts alleged, unless it is modified, vacated or set aside by the Court of Appeals. However, the department may review the ruling and modify, vacate or set it aside if requested by the petitioner or other party to the proceeding. Binding rulings provided by this section are subject to review in the Court of Appeals in the manner provided in ORS 183.480 for the review of orders in contested cases.
