The decisions of the Commission shall be final unless the appointing authority, the citizen or the employee requests a judicial review by filing a petition to that effect.
The party adversely affected by a partial or final resolution or order may, within the term of twenty (20) days from the date the notice of the resolution or order has been entered into the record, present a motion for reconsideration of the resolution or order. The agency shall consider the motion within fifteen (15) days of its presentation. If it flatly rejects it or if it fails to act within fifteen (15) days, the term to request the review shall begin to run anew from the moment of notification of the denial or from the expiration of those fifteen (15) days, as the case may be. If a determination is made in the consideration thereof, the term to request a review shall begin to count from the date of entering into the record a copy of the notice of the resolution of the agency resolving definitely the motion of reconsideration. Such a resolution shall be issued and entered into the record within ninety (90) days following the date the motion for reconsideration has been filed. If the agency accepts the motion for reconsideration but fails to act on the motion within ninety (90) days of the filing thereof, it shall lose its jurisdiction over the same, and the term to request the judicial review shall begin to count from the date of expiration of said ninety (90)-day term, except if the agency, for just cause and within those ninety (90) days, extends said term to resolve for a period which shall not exceed thirty (30) additional days.
