A final decision or order adverse to a party in an adjudication proceeding shall be in
writing or stated in the record. A final decision shall include findings of fact and conclusions
of law. Findings of fact, if set forth in statutory language, shall be accompanied by a concise
and explicit statement of the underlying facts supporting the findings. If, in accordance with
agency rules, a party submitted proposed findings of fact, the decision shall include a ruling
upon each proposed finding. Parties shall be notified personally, by mail, or by electronic
means of any decision or order. Upon request, a copy of the decision or order shall be
delivered or mailed forthwith to each party and to his attorney of record. The parties by
