Petition for reconsideration

The petitioner, within fifteen days of the mailing of an adverse decision, may request reconsideration of the matter. The petition must specifically state the grounds for relief or a statement of any further showing to be made in the matter. The petition must state if a rehearing is requested. The petition constitutes a part of the record. The department may deny such petition or grant a rehearing upon such terms as it may prescribe. This section does not limit the department's right to reopen any proceeding under any continuing jurisdiction granted to it by law. Any rehearing granted on a petition for reconsideration must be conducted pursuant to this chapter. If the petition for reconsideration is denied, notice of the denial must be given pursuant to North Dakota Century Code section 39-06-33.
