39-7,142. Administrative orders.
(a) The provisions of this section shall apply to all orders entered by an authorized agent of the secretary in any IV-D administrative proceeding under K.S.A. 39-7,137 through 39-7,152 and amendments thereto.
(b) Every administrative order entered shall specify:
(1) Identifying information about the IV-D case;
(2) the mailing address of the Kansas office providing IV-D services;
(3) any finding of fact required by law; and
(4) when review of the administrative order is available and how to request review.
(c) Each administrative order shall be signed and dated by the secretary's authorized agent. The date of entry shall be the date the administrative order is signed by the secretary's authorized agent. The administrative order shall be effective as of the date of entry except to the extent that the order's effectiveness is stayed.
(d) A copy of the administrative order shall be served on each person required to comply with the administrative order, on the responsible parent, and on any other person required by law to receive a copy of the administrative order.
(e) The secretary may correct any technical error arising from oversight or omission or any clerical mistake that is discovered in any administrative order. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the amendment may be made at any time upon the secretary's own initiative or upon request of any person and after such notice, if any, that the secretary determines appropriate. If a review is pending, an amendment under this section may be made only with leave of the presiding officer. The amendment shall relate back to the date of the original administrative order, except that any person who has relied in good faith upon the original administrative order shall not be prejudiced by the relation back of any amendment under this section. A copy of the amended administrative order shall be served upon the same parties as the original administrative order, with a statement explaining the change, when review of the amended administrative order is available and how to request review. For the purpose of determining whether review of the amended order is available, the date the amended order was served upon the person requesting review shall be treated as the date the amended administrative order was entered.
