4 Colo. Code Regs. § 723-1-1505
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 20, October 25, 2024
Section 4 CCR 723-1-1505 - Exceptions(a) A recommended decision becomes the Commission's decision unless, within 20 days or such additional time as the Commission may allow, any party files exceptions to the recommended decision or the Commission orders the recommended decision to be stayed. A stay of a recommended decision does not automatically extend the period for filing exceptions or a motion for an extension of time to file exceptions. If exceptions are timely filed, the recommended decision is stayed until the Commission rules upon them. A motion for an extension of time to file exceptions based upon the unavailability of a transcript shall show that the transcript request was filed within seven days of the mailed date of the recommended decision. Parties may file responses to exceptions within 14 days following service of the exceptions.(b) A party wishing to file exceptions shall request a transcript within seven days of the mailed date of the recommended decision, unless the party's exceptions dispute only issues of law. The requesting party shall bear the cost of the preparation of the transcript, unless the party files an appropriate motion and the Commission by decision equitably apportions the cost among the parties.(c) The Commission may, upon its own motion or upon the motion of a party, order oral argument regarding exceptions. A motion for oral argument shall be conspicuously incorporated into the document in which exceptions are filed. The Commission shall set the time allotted for argument and may terminate argument whenever, in its judgment, further argument is unnecessary. The party filing exceptions is entitled to open and conclude the argument. If more than one party has filed exceptions, the Commission shall determine the order of argument. Arguments will be limited to issues raised in the exceptions, unless the Commission orders otherwise. If a party fails to appear to present argument, the Commission may hear the arguments of other parties. The Commission shall have oral arguments recorded for inclusion in the record.38 CR 02, January 25, 2015, effective 2/14/201538 CR 20, October 25, 2015, effective 11/14/201543 CR 13, July 10, 2020, effective 7/30/202045 CR 07, April 10, 2022, effective 4/30/2022
