SB 1146 -- ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE AND REVIEW

SPONSOR:  Ridgeway (Pratt)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Judiciary by a vote of 11 to 0.

This bill allows for the independent review of an agency's
decision by an agency board other than the Administrative Hearing
Commission.  The aggrieved party may, within 30 days after the
party receives notice of the agency's decision, waive the
independent review by the agency board and file a petition in
circuit court for the de novo review of the agency's decision.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill clarifies
administrative procedures to give a litigant more options for
reviewing adverse rulings by state agencies.  The bill also
revises the statutes to reflect the current practices of
reviewing agency rulings.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Ridgeway.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
