SECTION 165:5-1-6. Time computations and extensions; effective date

(a)   Computation of time. In computing any period of time prescribed by statute, by the rules of this Chapter, or by order of the Commission, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall be omitted and the last day of the designated period shall be included, unless the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday or official agency closing, in which case the period is extended to include the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday or official agency closing.

(b)   Extension of time. Whenever an act is by the rules of this Chapter or by order of the Commission required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the Commission may, in its discretion upon its own motion or upon motion of any person, after notice and hearing, order the period extended if the order therefore is made prior to expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by previous order. Statutory time limits can not be extended by the Commission.

(c)   Effective date of orders. Every order of the Commission issues and is effective, unless an effective date is otherwise stated in the order, the date such order is signed by the Commissioners or by the Secretary upon approval of the Commissioners. Every order shall contain the language: "Done and performed this _____ day of _____". Periods of time prescribed by the order, or by statute, or by the rules of this Chapter shall run from the "Done and performed" date.
