Section 1001.450  New Hearings

a)         Relief Denied.  If a petitioner is denied relief after a formal hearing conducted pursuant to Subpart A, either for cause (including the failure to satisfy the requirements to obtain a restricted driving permit within the time allowed) or upon default, another formal hearing will not be held regarding the same relief requested at the last hearing until at least 90 calendar days have elapsed since the date of the hearing.  Furthermore, a request for another formal hearing will not be accepted for 30 days from the date of the last hearing.  A petitioner who is denied relief after a formal hearing must wait 30 calendar days before presenting himself or herself for an informal hearing on a petition for the same relief requested at the formal hearing.

b)         Decision Pending.  The Department will not accept a request for a hearing from a petitioner or a party requesting a hearing to contest an action taken by a department of the Secretary of State while a decision is pending on a hearing regarding the same issue or issues.
