An applicant, licensee, excluded person or other person directly affected by any decision or finding of the Commission pursuant to §
8.5-109 of this chapter or any licensing decision of the Commission under this chapter shall have the right to file a request for a rehearing before the Commission. Any such request of rehearing must be filed with the Commission in writing on or before the 10th day following receipt by such affected person of the written finding of the Commission. The Commission shall have discretion to grant a request for rehearing. In any case which comes before the Commission for final action, the Commission may determine to review all findings of fact and of law or proceed pursuant under a de novo standard. The Commission shall adopt procedures for resolving requests for rehearing, including rehearing proceedings. The Commission's decision on rehearing shall be final, and no further review by the Commission may be considered.
The Tribe, by enactment of this chapter, expressly waives the
Commission's sovereign immunity from suit for any action brought
against the Commission in the Tribal Court that is explicitly authorized
by this chapter.
