Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-76-107: Issuance of advisory private letter rulings - Effect of letter - Procedure for dispute resolution

(a) All state entities and programs that are administratively attached to the division of regulatory boards must issue advisory private letter rulings to any affected person who is certified, licensed, or registered by such state entities or under such programs, as applicable, and who makes such a request regarding any matters within the state entities' or under such program's primary jurisdiction. The private letter ruling only affects the person making the inquiry and shall have no precedential value for any other inquiry or future contested case to come before the state entity or under such program. Any dispute regarding a private letter ruling may be resolved pursuant to the declaratory order provisions of § 4-5-223 if the board chooses to do so. The division of regulatory boards may prescribe a fee for the issuance of an advisory private letter ruling by rule promulgated in accordance with subsection (b).

(b) The commissioner of commerce and insurance shall promulgate rules to effectuate this section. The rules must be promulgated in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5.
