(a) Following the hearing and upon completion of the record, the
administrative law judge shall issue an order and decision embodying his
findings of fact and conclusions of law on all issues as to whether
respondent has violated the representations and stipulations of the act
and the amount of damages due therefor, which shall become final, unless
a petition for review is filed under Sec. 50-203.11, before the
expiration of the time provided for the filing of such petition. The
decision of the administrative law judge shall be inoperative unless and
until it becomes final. If the respondent is found to have violated the

June 30, 1936 (sec. 3, 49 Stat. 2037; 41 U.S.C. 37).
(b) The decision of the administrative law judge shall be made part
of the record, and a copy thereof shall be served upon the respondent or

respondent or respondents or to the attorney or attorneys of record.
Upon request from employees or other interested persons, the decision
will be served upon such persons, and in the discretion of the
administrative law judge, the decision will be served upon such other
persons or their attorneys who appeared at the hearing or upon brief by
mailing a copy thereof to such persons.
