Text

(a) This section applies to an order issued by
an officer, employee, or agent of an office or division within the
department.
(b) The office or division issuing an order shall give a person who:
(1) is aggrieved by the order; and
(2) requests review of the order in verbal or written form;
an opportunity to informally discuss the order with the office or
division. Review under this subsection does not suspend the running of
the time period in which a person must petition under IC 4-21.5-3-7 to
appeal the order.
(c) The office or division issuing the order may, on its own initiative
or at the request of any person, modify its order or reverse the order.
(d) An order issued by an office or a division may be appealed to the
commission under IC 4-21.5-3-7. A decision to deny a request to
modify or reverse an order under subsection (c) is not appealable.
However, orders issued under IC 22-14-2-7, IC 22-14-2-7.5, or IC 36-8-10.5 are appealed to the education board.
(e) If an order is appealed, the agency that is responsible for
reviewing the order under subsection (d) or its designee shall conduct
all administrative proceedings under IC 4-21.5. In its proceedings, the
agency conducting the proceeding may modify the order to impose any
requirement authorized under this article or reverse the order.
