Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 39, September 26, 2024

(a) Timely filing required. Pleadings, submittals or other documents required or permitted to be filed under these rules or any other provision of law must be received for filing at the commission's office within the time limits, if any, for such filing. The date of receipt at the office of the agency and not the date of deposit in the mails is determinative.

(b) Computation of time. Except as otherwise provided by law, in computing any period of time prescribed or allowed, the date of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is Saturday, Sunday, or a "legal holiday" as defined in K.S.A. 60-206, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, nor a legal holiday. A part-day holiday shall be considered as other days and not as a holiday. Intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays shall be included in the computation.

(c) Issuance of orders. In computing any period of time involving the date of the issuance of an order the day of issuance of an order shall be the day the commission mails or delivers copies of the order to the parties, or if such delivery is not otherwise required by law, the day the commission makes such copies public. Orders will not be made public prior to the mailing or delivery to the parties, except where, in the judgment of the commission, the public interest so requires. The day of issuance of an order may or may not be the day of its adoption by the commission. In any event, the office of the agency shall clearly indicate on each order the day of its issuance.

(d) Extensions of time.

(1) Except as otherwise provided by law, whenever an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the time fixed or the period of time prescribed may by the commission or the presiding officer, for good cause be extended upon motion made before expiration of the period originally prescribed or as previously extended; and upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period, the act may be permitted to be done where reasonable grounds are shown for the failure to act. Requests for the extension of time in which to file briefs shall be filed at least five days before the time fixed for filing such briefs.

(2) Except as otherwise provided by law, requests for continuance of hearings or for extension of time in which to perform any act required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time by these rules or any order, shall be by motion in writing, timely filed with the agency, stating the facts on which the application rests, except that during the course of a hearing in a proceeding, such requests may be made by oral motion in the hearing before the commission or the presiding officer.
