An applicant who has not been approved for funding may file a Request for Reconsideration with the director of the department in writing within ten days of the decision to decline to award a grant. In order to be considered by the director, the Request for Reconsideration is to be based upon one of the following grounds:

1. The decision process was conducted in violation of statute or rule;

2. The decision violates state or federal law, policy, or rule (to be cited in the Request);

3. The decision process involved a conflict of interest.

Within 20 days of filing a Request for Reconsideration, the requester will submit all written documentation, evidence, or argument in support of the request. The director will notify the council of the request and provide the council an opportunity to defend its decision with written documentation, evidence, or argument, which is to be submitted within 20 days of receipt of the request. The council will provide copies of all documents to the requester at the time the items are submitted to the director.

The director will issue a decision granting or denying the Request for Reconsideration within 30 days of the receipt of the evidence, or no later than 60 days from the date of Request for Reconsideration, unless a later date is agreeable to the requester and the council.
