Rules; petition for variation
Sec. 12. (a) If there will be practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardships in carrying out any rule, order, or determination of the
commissioner of labor, the commissioner of labor may, after a public
hearing, authorize a variation from any requirement, if the spirit of
the rule and of the law will be otherwise observed. Any person who
is affected by any rule, or his agent, may petition the commissioner
of labor, in writing, for variation, stating the grounds therefor. The
commissioner of labor shall fix a day for a hearing on the petition
and shall give reasonable notice thereof to the petitioner.
(b) A properly indexed record of all variations made shall be kept
in the office of the department of labor and shall be open to public
inspection.
