§ 1042 Hearing Notice Requirements

This rule says that any hearing must give people a notice first, unless the law that created the hearing says you don’t have to give notice.

Key Takeaways

  • •Hearings normally require a notice to the people involved.
  • •If the specific law that creates the hearing says notice isn’t needed, you can skip it.
  • •The rule applies to any hearing that falls under this code.

Example

A town council wants to hold a hearing about a new trash collection rule and must mail a notice to all residents, unless the trash law specifically says the hearing can happen without sending a notice.

Because the hearing is under the town's code, they have to tell people about it first. If the trash law says no notice is needed, they can skip the mailing.
