[ 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD) .]
2. The superintendent shall hold a hearing:
A. If required by any provision of this Title, or [1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]

[1987, c. 220, §1 (AMD).]
3. Any such application must be filed with the superintendent within 30 days after such person knew or reasonably should have known of such act, impending act, failure, report or order, unless a different period is provided for by other applicable law, and in which case such other law shall govern.

If the superintendent finds that the application is timely and made in good faith, that the applicant would be so aggrieved if his grounds are established and that such grounds otherwise justify the hearing, he shall hold the hearing within 30 days after filing of the application, or within 30 days after the application has been sworn to, whichever is the later date, unless in either case the hearing is postponed by mutual consent. The hearing shall be held in conformity with the provisions contained in the Maine Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5, chapter 375.
