This chapter implements the provisions of P.L. 2008, c. 36, which removed the State Board of Education's authority to hear appeals of determinations of the Commissioner of Education, the State Board of Examiners, and the School Ethics Commission. The law instead provided that Commissioner determinations shall be deemed final agency actions and that State Board of Examiners and School Ethics Commission determinations shall be appealable to the Commissioner. The chapter establishes standards and procedures for the filing, briefing, and adjudication of appeals, and supersedes any rule with which it may be inconsistent.
