(a) Final decisions of the board shall be binding in all subsequent proceedings involving similar questions. Final decisions of referees and the principles of law declared in their support shall be binding on the administrator and shall further be persuasive authority in subsequent referee proceedings. If in any subsequent proceeding the administrator or a referee has serious doubt as to the correctness of any principles previously declared by a referee or by the board, or if there is an apparent inconsistency or conflict in final decisions of comparable authority, then the findings of fact in such case may be certified, together with the question of law involved, to the board. After giving notice and reasonable opportunity for hearing upon the law to all parties to the proceedings, the board shall certify to the administrator or referee and the parties its answer to the question submitted; or the board in its discretion may remove to itself the entire proceeding as provided in section 31-248a and render its decision upon the entire case.
(b) The board shall publish an index of all cases decided by the board on and after July 1, 1983. The index shall include, but not be limited to, a subject reference and a reference of all statutory sections and court cases under which each case was decided.
