Within twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the written decision of the executive director, the aggrieved party may file a petition with the commission requesting a hearing to reconsider the decision. The petition must set forth the basis of the request for reconsideration. If no petition for reconsideration is filed within the time prescribed in subsection (1) of this section, the decision shall be deemed final action on the matter and is not subject to reconsideration by the executive director or review by the commission or to review by any court. The party requesting the hearing must provide a copy of the petition to the other party. Within fifteen (15) days after service of the petition, the responding party may answer the allegations contained therein by filing a written response with the commission. The commission shall appoint a hearing examiner who shall schedule a hearing and may conduct the hearing at such times and places, within or without the State of Mississippi as may be convenient, except that notice of the date, time and place of the hearing must be provided to both parties. The commission may review the hearing examiner’s decision as provided in Section 75-76-119.
