- (a) All applications, petitions, complaints, motions, protests, replies, answers, notices, and other pleadings relating to any proceeding pending or to be instituted before the Board, except for SOAH-related proceedings, shall be filed with the Executive Director or other designated person. They shall be deemed filed only when actually received, accompanied by the filing fee, if any, required by statute or Board rules.
- (b) A copy of all documents filed with the State Office of Administrative Hearings shall be sent to the Board's legal representative, or if a legal representative has not been identified, then to the Board office, addressed to the Executive Director.
- (c) Unless otherwise provided by statute, the time for filing any pleading, except a notice of protest, may be extended by order of the Executive Director or the Administrative Law Judge, as appropriate, upon written motion duly filed prior to the expiration of the applicable period of time for the filing of the same, showing that there is good cause for such extension of time and that the need, therefore, is not caused by the neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the movant. A copy of any such motion shall be service by the party filing same upon all other parties of record to the proceeding, contemporaneously with the filing thereof.
