In July 2021, the Board notified the public that it would resume in-person hearings in the Board’s offices. Since that time, the Board has held many such hearings and resolved several hundred cases. The Board wishes to thank litigants and attorneys for their hard work over the past few months.

The Board continues to serve citizens, litigants, and attorneys from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The Board encourages all parties to use the Board’s electronic filing system, Modria. If an attorney is filing a document, the Board’s rules require they use Modria. In the event a party must file a document in person, that person should do so during normal business hours.

If a Board employee is unavailable, the filer may use the Board’s self-service filing station, located on the 24th Floor of the State Office Tower. A filer will simply timestamp the document and place the document in our secure filing cabinet. Since the Board does not typically hold hearings on Thursdays and Fridays, a filer could be required to use the self-service station on those dates; however, Board staff will be available in person or by telephone to assist filers.

Board staff remains available to assist litigants, attorneys, and members of the public during normal business hours.
