32301. Any person from whom an amount is determined to be due under Article 2 (commencing with Section 32271) or 3 (commencing with Section 32291) or any person directly interested may petition for a redetermination thereof within 30 days after service upon him or her of notice of the determination. If a petition for redetermination is not filed within the 30-day period, the amount determined to be due becomes final at the expiration thereof. 32301.5. Every petition for redetermination shall be in writing and shall state the specific grounds upon which the petition is founded. The petition may be amended to state additional grounds at any time prior to the date on which the board issues its order or decision upon the petition for redetermination. 32302. If a petition for redetermination is filed within the 30-day period, the board shall reconsider the amount determined to be due, and if the person has so requested in his petition, shall grant him an oral hearing and shall give him 10 days' notice of the time and place of the hearing. The board may continue the hearing from time to time as may be necessary. 32303. The board may decrease or increase the amount of the determination before it becomes final, but the amount may be increased only if a claim for the increase is asserted by the board at or before the hearing. Unless the 25 percent penalty imposed by Section 32271 or Section 32291 applies to the amount of the determination as originally made or as increased, the claim for increase must be asserted within eight years after the date the return for the period for which the increase is asserted was due. 32304. The order or decision of the board upon a petition for redetermination shall become final 30 days after service upon the petitioner of notice thereof. 32305.

Any notice required by this section shall be served personally or by mail in the same manner as prescribed for service of notice by Section 32271.
