(P.A. 82-397, S. 3, 7; P.A. 87-554, S. 11; P.A. 88-230, S. 1, 12; 88-364, S. 72, 123; P.A. 90-98, S. 1, 2; P.A. 93-142, S. 4, 7, 8; 93-310, S. 11, 32; P.A. 95-220, S. 4 -6; P.A. 17-99, S. 29.)
Appeal from decision of commissioner pursuant to section constitutes a civil action; plaintiff's service of process on defendant within 30 days of mailing of notice of commissioner's decision satisfies requirements of section. 319 C. 697. Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear administrative appeal and lacked authority to enter order to pay plaintiff's medical expenses where plaintiff failed to comply strictly with provisions of section and did not take appeal until approximately 210 days after receiving notice of commissioner's decision. 61 CA 151.
