77-613. Time for filing petition; service of order, pleading or other matter. Subject to other requirements of this act or of another statute:

(a) A petition for judicial review of a rule and regulation may be filed at any time, except as otherwise provided by law.

(b) If reconsideration has not been requested and is not a prerequisite for seeking judicial review, a petition for judicial review of a final order shall be filed within 30 days after service of the order.

(c) Except as provided in K.S.A. 77-631, and amendments thereto, if reconsideration has been requested or is a prerequisite for seeking judicial review, a petition for judicial review of a final order shall be filed: (1) Within 30 days after service of the order rendered upon reconsideration, unless a further petition for reconsideration is required under K.S.A. 66-118b, and amendments thereto; (2) within 30 days after service of an order denying the request for reconsideration; or (3) in proceedings before the Kansas corporation commission, within 30 days of the date the request for reconsideration is deemed to have been denied.

(d) A petition for judicial review of agency action other than a rule and regulation or final order shall be filed within 30 days after the agency action, but the time is extended:

(1) During the pendency of the petitioner's timely attempts to exhaust administrative remedies; and

(2) during any period that the petitioner did not know and was under no duty to discover, or did not know and was under a duty to discover but could not reasonably have discovered, that the agency had taken the action or that the agency action had a sufficient effect to confer standing upon the petitioner to obtain judicial review under this act.

(e) Service of an order, pleading or other matter shall be made upon the parties to the agency proceeding and their attorneys of record, if any, by:

(1) Delivering a copy of it to them;

(2) mailing a copy of it to them at their last known addresses; or

(3) transmitting a copy of it to them by electronic means when authorized by supreme court rule or a local rule.

Delivery of a copy of an order, pleading or other matter means handing it to the person being served or leaving it at that person's principal place of business or residence with a person of suitable age and discretion who works or resides therein. Service shall be presumed if the presiding officer, or a person directed to make service by the presiding officer, makes a written certificate of service. Service by mail is complete upon mailing. Whenever a party has the right or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a prescribed period after service of an order, pleading or other matter and it is served by mail or electronic means, three days shall be added to the prescribed period. Unless reconsideration is a prerequisite for seeking judicial review, a final order shall state the agency officer to receive service of a petition for judicial review on behalf of the agency.
