Commissioner's hearings; generally; when required; request for hearing; stay.
Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 26-2-125
in effect(a) The commissioner may hold a hearing without request by others for any purpose within the scope of this code.
(b) The commissioner shall hold a hearing:
(i) If required by this code or the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act; or
(ii) Upon written request therefor by a person aggrieved by any act, threatened act or failure of the commissioner to act, or by any report, rule, regulation or order of the commissioner, other than an order for the holding of a hearing, or an order on a hearing or pursuant to the order, of which the person had notice.
(c) Any request for hearing shall be filed in the department within ninety (90) days after the person knows or reasonably should know of the act, threatened act, failure, report or order, unless a different period is provided for by other laws applicable to a particular matter, in which case the other law governs. A hearing as to the legality of a rule or regulation may be requested within ninety (90) days after the person knows or reasonably should know of the application or proposed application of the rule or regulation as to the person in a particular instance.
(d) Any request for hearing shall summarize the information and grounds to be relied upon as a basis for the relief to be sought at the hearing.
(e) If the commissioner finds that the request is made in good faith, that the person would be aggrieved if his grounds are established and that the grounds otherwise justify the hearing, he shall hold the hearing within thirty (30) days from the date the request is filed, unless postponed by mutual consent. Failure to hold the hearing upon request of a person entitled thereto as provided in this section constitutes a denial of the relief sought and is the equivalent of a final order of the commissioner for the purpose of an appeal under W.S. 26-2-129.
(f) Any request for hearing the commissioner receives prior to the effective date of action he takes or proposes to take stays the action pending the hearing, except as to action taken or proposed under an order:
(i) On hearing;
(ii) Pursuant to an order on hearing;
(iii) To make good an impairment of the capital funds of an insurer; or
(iv) Made pursuant to chapter 14 of this code.
(g) If an automatic stay is not provided for, and if the commissioner after written request therefor fails to grant a stay, the person aggrieved may apply to the district court of Laramie county for a stay of the commissioner's action.
