Section 10.01.06.13 - Confidentiality as to Fair Hearings

If the appellant waives in writing his privilege of confidentiality as to the fair hearings, the hearing officer shall permit members of the public to attend the hearing; however, the hearing officer may cause the removal of any member of the public whose conduct impedes the orderly progress of the hearings, or may recess the hearings until a time when it may proceed in orderly fashion. The hearing officer also may exclude from the hearing persons who have given the Department no advance notice of their intention to attend, if the size of the hearing room is too small to accommodate them.
