HB 677 -- Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions

Sponsor:  Byrd

This bill specifies that if an agency fails to issue a final
decision on a contested case within either 60 days after the
conclusion of a hearing or within 180 days after the receipt by
the agency of a written request for the issuance of a final
decision, whichever time is earlier, the person is considered to
have exhausted all administrative remedies and is entitled to a
judicial review in circuit court.  The court is allowed to
conduct a de novo review of the agency's decision upon
application of any party when the action of the agency under
review involves only the application of the law to the facts by
the agency.
