12/09/2025 - Process update: Amending Board decisions for typographical or other minor errors

Effective immediately, the process for addressing minor or typographical errors in Board decisions has been updated and streamlined - removing the need to email the district's Senior Law Judge or file a Request for Further Action (Form RFA-1LC or RFA-2) or Application for Board Review (Form RB-89).

When a minor or typographical error in a decision (such as EC-18R, EC-23, EC-23R, EC-32.3, Notice of Stipulated Decision) is identified and evident upon review of the hearing record, parties will now:

This form should not be used to request new or differing findings, nor object to proposed determinations; its use is only for corrections to final decisions. Examples of minor or typographical errors include mistyped dates, incorrect rate designations, or failure to notate material findings in the written decision. New or differing findings require filing a Stipulation (Form C-300.5), Agreed Upon Findings and Awards for Proposed Conciliation Decision (Form C-312.5), or an appeal.
