HB 693 -- ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING COMMISSION (Smith)

This bill makes several changes in the law regarding
administrative agency proceedings.  The bill:

(1)  Clarifies that persons in the business of buying or selling
motor vehicles in the state are subject to the jurisdiction of
administrative agencies;

(2)  Repeals the provisions allowing the Administrative Hearing
Commission 10 days to set a hearing date, upon receipt of an
application, and 60 days to issue a final decision;

(3)  Includes motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles within the
category of motor vehicles, for purposes of the Administrative
Hearing Commission's authority to regulate, and allows the
commission to establish a filing fee for the cases;

(4)  Requires a notice of the right to appeal to be issued with
any ruling of the commission on any decision involving the
Department of Social Services' denial of public medical
assistance;

(5)  Allows any party before the commission to request that a
hearing be held by video conferencing;

(6)  Repeals several sections granting the commission authority
to issue summary judgments on agency rules; and

(7)  Requires the commission to promulgate uniform rules for its
proceedings.  Current law allows 3 different sets of rules of
procedure, depending on the agencies involved.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.
