Section 480-07-830. Motion to reopen the record prior to entry of a final order.
Latest version.
- Any party may file a motion to reopen the record at any time after the close of the record and before entry of the final order. The commission may reopen the record in a proceeding on its own motion. In uncontested proceedings, the commission may exercise its discretion to reopen the record to allow receipt of written evidence when otherwise lawful. In contested proceedings, the commission may reopen the record to allow receipt of evidence that is essential to a decision and that was unavailable and not reasonably discoverable with due diligence at the time of the hearing or for any other good and sufficient cause. The commission will give all parties an opportunity to respond to any evidence received after the record is closed. The commission may enter a final order or may return the matter to the presiding officer for further consideration, including further hearing or other process when appropriate.
