New or additional evidence, not already entered into evidence on the record, may not be included with the written argument unless the hearing officer grants permission on the record to the belated admission of the evidence.(b) Whenever written argument or new or additional evidence is submitted to the hearing officer pursuant to subsection (a), the submitting party shall mail or deliver a copy to the other party.(c) Nothing herein precludes the submission of written argument at the time of the hearing.Cal.
