39-3-217. Appeal to board. If a party is aggrieved by the decision of the hearings officer, the party may appeal the decision to the board. The hearing before the board is for review only and may be conducted by telephone or by videoconference. The submission of new or cumulative evidence is not allowed unless the board finds that good cause is shown for the failure to produce the evidence before the hearings officer. When a decision is rendered by the board, the board shall mail copies of the decision to each interested party at the party's last-known address and to the department. The decision is final unless an aggrieved party requests a rehearing or initiates judicial review, pursuant to Title 2, chapter 4, part 7, by filing a petition in district court within 30 days of the date of mailing of the board's decision.
