Section 116701 Of Article 10. Judicial Review From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 104. >> Part 12. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 10.
116701
. (a) Within 30 days of issuance of an order or decision
issued by the deputy director under Article 8 (commencing with
Section 116625) or Article 9 (commencing with Section 116650), an
aggrieved person may petition the state board for reconsideration.
Where the order or decision of the deputy director is issued after a
hearing under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of
Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, this section shall
apply instead of Section 11521 of the Government Code.
(b) The petition shall include the name and address of the
petitioner, a copy of the order or decision for which the petitioner
seeks reconsideration, identification of the reason the petitioner
alleges the issuance of the order was inappropriate or improper, the
specific action the petitioner requests, and other information as the
state board may prescribe. The petition shall be accompanied by a
statement of points and authorities of the legal issues raised by the
petition.
(c) The evidence before the state board shall consist of the
record before the deputy director and any other relevant evidence
that, in the judgment of the state board, should be considered to
implement the policies of this chapter. The state board may, in its
discretion, hold a hearing for receipt of additional evidence.
(d) The state board may refuse to reconsider the order or decision
if the petition fails to raise substantial issues that are
appropriate for review, may deny the petition upon a determination
that the issuance of the order or decision was appropriate and
proper, may set aside or modify the order or decision, or take other
appropriate action. The state board's action pursuant to this
subdivision shall constitute the state board's completion of its
reconsideration.
(e) The state board, upon notice and hearing, if a hearing is
held, may stay in whole or in part the effect of the order or
decision of the deputy director.
(f) If an order of the deputy director is subject to
reconsideration under this section, the filing of a petition for
reconsideration is an administrative remedy that must be exhausted
before filing a petition for writ of mandate under Section 116625 or
116700.
