Section 1220-01-02-.20 - PETITIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION(1) Any petition for reconsideration shall be filed within fifteen (15) days after the date of the entry of an order. The petition shall be served on all parties and include a statement of the grounds upon which relief is requested with reasonable specificity. If the petitioners seek to present new evidence, the petition shall contain a statement of the cause for the failure to introduce the proposed new evidence in the original proceeding, a detailed description of any such new evidence proposed to be introduced, including copies of documents sought to be introduced, identities of proposed witnesses, and summaries of any testimony sought to be presented. However, documents that are unavailable to the party seeking reconsideration at the time of filing the petition may be described in as much detail as is possible and may be provided at a later time, should reconsideration be granted, but not later than three (3) working days prior to any reconsideration hearing.(2) The Authority may grant or deny petitions for reconsideration of final orders under T.C.A. § 4-5-317, to the following extent: (a) any such petition shall be granted within the twenty (20) day period fixed by T.C.A. § 4-5-317(c), or it shall be deemed denied;(b) if the petition is granted, the matter shall be heard as soon as practicable;(c) the party seeking reconsideration may be allowed to present new evidence only if the party shows that good cause existed for the failure to introduce the new evidence at the original hearing, and the opposing party shall be allowed to present rebuttal proof if the party seeking reconsideration is allowed to present new evidence; and(d) any new evidence allowed to be introduced by the party seeking reconsideration shall be limited to that described in the petition for reconsideration.(3) The filing of a petition for reconsideration shall not toll the period for review of a final order unless the petition for reconsideration is granted.Tenn.
