The filing of a motion for reconsideration shall suspend the time for filing a notice of intention to appeal pending resolution of the motion, except that if the commission does not dispose of a motion for reconsideration within sixty days after the filing of the motion, the motion shall be deemed denied and the procedures for appeal in section 75-136 apply.

Either party shall have thirty days after the date the commission enters an order resolving the motion or the expiration of the one-hundred-twenty-day period for considering the motion, whichever is earlier, in which to file an appeal.
