Request for Reconsideration. Each party may request reconsideration of a final decision. The request shall be directed to the official or officials who rendered the decision, and shall be filed within 10 days after receipt of the final decision by the party. The request shall state the grounds for reconsideration. The decision maker shall grant or deny the request, in whole or in part, within 30 days of its filing. The filing of a request for reconsideration may not stay a final decision and may not stay the time for filing an appeal from the final decision. If reconsideration is granted, the decision maker shall issue an order providing for reconsideration and staying the decision being reconsidered. The decision maker may conduct a hearing in accordance with the provisions of this chapter for the purpose of receiving further evidence or argument upon the matters being reconsidered. After reconsideration, the decision maker shall issue an order affirming, modifying, or rescinding the original decision, and shall immediately forward a copy of the order to each party or the party's attorney.
