• The filing of a petition for reconsideration does not automatically stay enforcement; a separate stay request may be required.
• Judicial review under Ark. Code Ann. Section 25-15-212 must be sought within 30 days of the agency's final decision (or decision on reconsideration).
• Check agency-specific rules for additional reconsideration requirements.

[// GUIDANCE: For Arkansas matters, confirm any statutory limits on reconsideration and whether agency rules require verification or sworn declarations. The 30-day judicial review period runs from the final agency action.]
