    Section 14. Any person aggrieved by a decision of the commissioner under sections 1 to 19, inclusive, of this Act may, within thirty days of receipt of written notice of the commissioner's decision, make written application to the commissioner for a hearing to be conducted pursuant to chapter 1-26. Hearings are to be conducted and appeals taken pursuant to the provisions of chapters 1-26 and 1-26D. A copy of the hearing examiner's proposed decision, findings of fact, and conclusions of law shall be served on all parties when furnished to the commissioner. If the commissioner, pursuant to chapter 1-26D, accepts the final decision of the hearing examiner, no appeal from a final decision of the commissioner upon any additional tax to be paid may be taken unless any amount ordered paid by the commissioner is paid or a bond filed to insure payment of the amount. However, if the final decision of the commissioner, pursuant to chapter 1-26D, rejects or modifies the decision of the hearing examiner regarding the amount due, an appeal may be taken without payment of the amount ordered to be paid and without filing of a bond.
