				endorsement, as of the date the commission physically receives the filing or by
				the date and time recorded by the commission's facsimile machine or computer
				system used to receive electronic filings as set forth on the commission's
				website. In instances where the last day for the filing of any such paper falls
				on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the commission shall deem the filing
				timely if accomplished on the next day subsequent that is neither a Saturday,
				Sunday, or legal holiday.

				members, staff, and legal counsel will not accept service of process on the
