Filing Of Final Orders

After an agency has made a decision in a contested case hearing conducted by the Administrative Procedures Division, whichever party is assigned the responsibility for drafting the final order shall file the signed, final order with the Administrative Procedures Division. The order shall state that it is deemed entered upon the date that it is filed with the Administrative Procedures Division, unless otherwise allowable by law. The party responsible for filing the final order with the Administrative Procedures Division shall serve a copy of the final order, timestamped by the Administrative Procedures Division, on the opposing party, or if such party is represented by counsel, on counsel for the opposing party, on the date of filing either by standard postal mail or electronically. All final orders shall contain a clear and concise statement of the available procedures and time limits for seeking reconsideration or other administrative relief and the time limits for seeking judicial review of the final order.
