Summary
Administrative Process Act; reconsideration of formal hearings. Provides a procedure for a party to file a petition for reconsideration of an agency's decision from a formal hearing under the Administrative Process Act (APA). The bill requires the agency to render a written decision on a party's timely petition for reconsideration within 30 days; the agency may deny the petition, modify the decision, or vacate the decision and set a new hearing for further proceedings. The agency shall state the reasons for its action. The bill also provides for the reconsideration of other decisions of a policy-making board of a state agency. If reconsideration is sought for the decision of a board, the board may (i) consider the petition for reconsideration at its next regularly scheduled meeting, (ii) schedule a special meeting to consider and decide upon the petition within 30 days of receipt, or (iii) delegate authority to consider the petition to either the board chairman, a subcommittee of the board, or the director of the state agency that provides administrative support to the board. The bill provides that any agency that intends to promulgate regulations that specify the scope of evidence that may be considered by such agency in support of any petition for reconsideration may promulgate emergency regulations. The bill also requires the Department of Human Resource Management to submit an annual report to the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology and the House Committee on General Laws detailing (a) the number of employee grievance hearings held pursuant to the APA and (b) the number of decisions from such hearings that were rendered in favor of employees. As introduced, the bill is the recommendation of the Administrative Law Advisory Committee and approved by the Virginia Code Commission.
