HB 807 -- Administrative Hearing Commission

Sponsor:  Hobbs

This bill allows any person or entity involved or affected by a
finding, decision, order, or assessment by the Hazardous Waste
Management Commission, Land Reclamation Commission, Safe Drinking
Water Commission, Air Conservation Commission, or Clean Water
Commission to have an appeals hearing before the Administrative
Hearing Commission if they file a petition within 30 days after
receiving notice of the judgment.  If a party filing an appeal
prevails in the dispute, that party is entitled to interest on
any amount wrongfully collected or erroneously paid.  However,
the authority to render a final decision after an appeals hearing
remains with the Administrative Hearing Commission.

A commission issuing a final order or decision will have the
burden of proof, except in cases involving the denial of a
permit, license, or registration, in which case the burden is on
the applicant.

Appropriations will be made from the respective funds of the
various commissions to cover the Administrative Hearing
Commission's expenses of any appeal.
