The executive council rules on any pending motion for reconsideration, including a request for a contested case hearing. In the event that a request for a contested case hearing is granted, the proceeding is conducted as provided in X.5 of the Uniform Rules on Agency Procedure related to contested cases, which are published at www.legis.iowa.gov/DOCS/Rules/Current/UniformRules.pdf on the general assembly's website. The burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence rests with the requester to establish grounds for reconsideration. The office of the attorney general will defend the decision of the executive council.
