§ 9061DecisionsProvision

Agency adjudicatory decisions must be written or entered in the record, include findings of fact, be sent to the parties, and be accompanied by notice of review or appeal rights.

Every agency decision made at the conclusion of an adjudicatory proceeding must be in writing or stated in the record and must include findings of fact sufficient to apprise the parties and any interested member of the public of the basis for the decision. A copy of the decision must be delivered or promptly mailed to each party to the proceeding or the party's representative of record. Written notice of the party's rights to review or appeal of the decision within the agency or review of the decision by the courts, as the case may be, and of the action required and the time within which the action must be taken in order to exercise the right of review or appeal, must be given to each party with the decision. [RR 2023, c. 2, Pt. B, §82 (COR).] The agency shall maintain a record of the vote of each member of the agency with respect to the agency decision. [PL 1977, c. 551, §3 (NEW).]
