§ 552 Order Hearing And Rescission

Key Takeaways

  • •If you get an order from the government, you have 30 days to ask for a meeting to talk about it.
  • •The government must start the meeting within 15 work days after you ask, or the order goes away.
  • •After the meeting, the government has 30 days to decide to keep, change, or cancel the order. If they don’t decide in time, the order goes away.
  • •You can still ask a judge to look at the order, even if you didn’t ask the government for a meeting first.

Example

You get a letter from the government saying you can’t sell food from your food truck anymore because of a rule you broke.

You have 30 days to ask for a meeting to explain your side. If the government doesn’t start the meeting within 15 work days, the order to stop selling food goes away. If they do have the meeting, they must decide within 30 days whether to keep the order, change it, or cancel it. If they don’t decide in time, the order goes away. You can also go to court to fight the order, even if you didn’t ask for the meeting.
