Section 84-2-1 - Service of pleadings

(a) Method, proof, complaints, orders, and other processes and papers of the board. Service of pleadings and orders shall be conducted in accordance with K.S.A. 77-531, and amendments thereto. Complaints, decisions, orders, and other processes and papers of the board may be served personally, by certified mail, by telefacsimile machine, by electronic mail, or by leaving a copy in the proper office or place of business of persons to be served. The return by the individual serving any of these documents, setting forth the manner of service, shall be proof of service. The return post office receipt, when certified and mailed as specified in this subsection, shall be proof of service.

(b) Service by a party. The moving party and respondent in any action shall be required to file the original and five copies of any pleadings with the board or its designee in person, by certified mail, by telefacsimile machine, or by electronic mail. If a party files any pleading with the board by telefacsimile machine or by electronic mail, the party shall file the original and five copies of the pleading with the board either in person or by certified mail within five days of electronically filing the pleading. The moving party shall also cause a copy of the pleading to be served, by regular mail or in person, upon all other parties of record with a statement of certification of service appearing upon the pleading.

(c) Service upon attorney. If a party appears by the party's attorney, all papers other than the complaint, notice of original hearings, and decisions and orders may be served as provided in subsection (d), upon the party's attorney with the same force and effect as though served upon the party.

(d) Service by the board. Once a party has been permitted to intervene in a pending action, upon request of the intervening party the other parties shall be ordered by the board, its designee, or the presiding officer to serve upon the intervening party copies of all pleadings of the other parties filed with the board before the date of intervention.
