of appeals issues a response to a timely motion for reconsideration of any decision or

order it issues. Act 25 also establishes a timeline for filing motions, petitions, and

responses with the supreme court. Act 25 first applies to actions that are commenced

on November 1, 2009, the effective date of the act.
