(a) Administrative action becomes final in any of the following events:
- (1) adoption by the board of a final order and the denial of motion for rehearing, either expressly or by operation of law.
- (2) adoption by the board of a final order which includes a statement that no motion for rehearing will be necessary because an imminent peril to the public health, safety, and welfare requires immediate effect to be given to a final decision or order.
- (b) The final decision or order must be rendered within 60 days of the date on which the hearing is closed, except that in a contested case heard by other than a majority of the trustees, the executive director may prescribe a longer period of time within which the final order or decision shall be issued. The extension, if so prescribed, shall be announced within 30 days after the date in which the hearing is closed.
