Section 149.06 - Consent Orders(1) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Department may at any time resolve an outstanding enforcement issue with a consent order. A consent order must be signed by the person to whom it is issued, or a duly authorized representative of that person, and must indicate agreement with the terms therein. A consent order need not contain an admission by any person that a violation has occurred, and without such a term, does not constitute such an admission.(2) A consent order is a final order of the Department, having the same force and effect as a remedial order issued pursuant to 220 CMR 149.05.(3) A consent order shall not be appealable and shall include an express waiver of appeal and judicial review rights that might otherwise attach to a final order of the Department.
