Parties to action; municipalities and attorney general as parties
Sec. 11. When declaratory relief is sought, all persons shall be
made parties who have or claim any interest that would be affected
by the declaration, and no declaration shall prejudice the rights of
persons not parties to the proceeding. In any proceeding that involves
the validity of a municipal ordinance or franchise, the municipality
shall be made a party, and shall be entitled to be heard. If the statute,
ordinance, or franchise is alleged to be unconstitutional, the attorney
general of the state shall also be served with a copy of the proceeding
and be entitled to be heard.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.9.
