Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 65.2-705 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 65.2-705. Review of award; rehearing.
A. If an application for review is made to the Commission within twenty days
from the date after receipt of notice of the
such award to be sent as provided in subsection A of §
65.2-704, the full Commission, except as provided in subsection B of
§ 65.2-704 and if the first hearing was not held before the full
Commission, shall review the evidence or, if deemed advisable, as soon as
practicable, hear the parties at issue, their representatives, and witnesses.
The Commission shall make an award which, together with a statement of the
findings of fact, rulings of law, and other matters pertinent to the questions
at issue, shall be filed with the record of the proceedings. A copy of the
award shall be sent immediately to the parties at issue.
B. A rehearing convened under this section shall be a public proceeding and, upon proper request, may, in the discretion of the Commission, be video recorded for public broadcast at the expense of the requesting party, subject only to the same limitations and conditions as apply to court proceedings in the Commonwealth.
C. Upon an application for review made pursuant to subsection A of this section, the opposing party at issue shall have fourteen days thereafter to make an independent application for review.
