FINAL ORDERS (§ 2.2-4023)

The terms of any final agency case decision, as signed by it, shall be served
upon the named parties by mail unless service otherwise made is duly
acknowledged by them in writing. The signed originals, which may be retained in
an electronic medium in accordance with § 42.1-86.01, shall remain in the
custody of the agency as public records subject to judicial notice by all courts
and agencies; and they, or facsimiles thereof, together with the full record or
file in every case shall be made available for public inspection or copying
except (i) so far as the agency may withhold the same in whole or part for the
purpose of protecting individuals mentioned from personal embarrassment,
obloquy, or disclosures of a private nature including statements respecting the
physical, mental, moral, or financial condition of such individuals or (ii) for
trade secrets or, so far as protected by other laws, other commercial or
industrial information imparted in confidence. Final orders may be recorded,
enforced, and satisfied as orders or decrees of a circuit court upon
certification of such orders by the agency head or his designee.
