state administrative review process

The state administrative review process is a formal procedure allowing individuals or businesses to challenge and seek reconsideration of decisions made by state agencies. When a person believes an agency’s decision is incorrect or unfair—such as denying a permit or benefit—they can request a review within a specified timeframe. This review is conducted internally by the agency or an appointed body, providing an opportunity to present evidence and arguments. The goal is to ensure fair, accurate, and consistent decision-making without needing to go to court, often resulting in an updated decision or confirmation of the original ruling.
