(2) An appeal may be taken by filing a petition for review in the Franklin Circuit Court within thirty (30) days after notice of the final decision unless a request for reconsideration has been filed, in which case the petition shall be filed within fifteen (15) days of the cabinet’s decision not to reconsider or notice of its decision on reconsideration. The petition shall state completely the grounds upon which the review is sought and shall assign all errors relied upon. The petitioner shall serve a copy of the petition to each person who was a party to the proceedings. Summons shall be issued upon the petition directing the adverse party or parties to file an answer within twenty (20) days after service of summons. The cabinet shall, upon being served with the summons and within thirty (30) days thereafter, file a copy of the record, duly certified by the secretary, the cost of the record to be taxed as costs upon appeal.
