Board Docket at Lowest Level in Recent Memory
For the first time in recent memory the Board’s docket has no cases that have been at the Board level awaiting a decision for longer than one year, with twenty-eight cases currently awaiting decisions. This is quite an improvement over May of 2019, when forty-seven cases were at the Board and fourteen had been at the Board for more than one year. Even more impressive, a mere two years ago the Board’s docket stood at eighty-three cases with thirty-seven cases that were over one year old.

The Board’s productivity is a testament to their hard work, especially during the pandemic, as well as a number of other factors. The addition of a Board “bull pen” attorney as part of the 2018 Budget Act and subsequent addition of a second limited term “bull pen” attorney allowed for an increased capacity of the number of cases that could be handled by each Board member. The 2018 Budget Act also re-established the Executive Director position alleviating the Board members from managing operations and allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities rather than overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Board. More recently, the changes to the Board’s existing regulations concerning designation of precedential decisions has allowed the Board to devote more of its resources to cases that truly raise precedential issues, while simultaneously allowing it to rule more quickly on the remainder of the cases on its docket. Finally, the Board has put together an amazing team of legal advisors and support staff who work tirelessly to provide the Board the advice and assistance necessary to remain productive.
The Board has issued twenty-two decisions since the February Board meeting, bringing the year to date total to seventy-eight. That total is higher than four of the last five fiscal years, with over a month remaining in the 2019-2020 fiscal year. The twenty-two recent decisions are listed below.
