Arizona § 12-902 - Scope of article

§ 12-902. Scope of article

A. This article applies to and governs:

1. Every action to judicially review a final decision of an administrative agency except public welfare decisions pursuant to title 46, or if the act creating or conferring power on an agency or a separate act provides for judicial review of the agency decisions and prescribes a definite procedure for the review.

2. An action to review the decision at an administrative hearing as otherwise provided by statute.

B. Unless review is sought of an administrative decision within the time and in the manner provided in this article, the parties to the proceeding before the administrative agency shall be barred from obtaining judicial review of the decision.  If under the terms of the law governing procedure before an agency an administrative decision becomes final because of failure to file any document in the nature of an objection, protest, petition for hearing or application for administrative review within the time allowed by the law, the decision is not subject to judicial review under the provisions of this article except for the purpose of questioning the jurisdiction of the administrative agency over the person or subject matter.
