These rules set forth the procedure to be followed by the commissioner in the disposition of a request for declaratory rulings as to the validity of any regulation, or the applicability to specified circumstances of a provision of the General Statutes, a regulation, or a final decision on a matter within the jurisdiction of the commissioner.
Such a ruling of the commissioner disposing of a petition for a declaratory ruling shall have the same status as any decision or order of the commissioner in a contested case.
