<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Proxima Nova Rg"">Question for you all – I am reading 53G: Employment of Outside Consultants, and wanted to get your opinion on how to interpret when it is legal for a regulatory board (PB or ConComm) to authorize/assign
Peer Review for a project. We are asking our municipal attorney this as well, but have any of you had applicants ask for Peer Review
<u>before</u> an official application has been submitted to your municipal permit or license granting boards?
