Section 2.81.4.23 - HEARINGS

A. Hearings are disfavored and will be held only when the executive director or board determine that substantial material factual issues are present that cannot be resolved satisfactorily through an examination or written document in the record. Any party may request a hearing, but such requests shall be deemed denied unless specifically granted.

B. Hearings, when held, should be as informal as practicable under the circumstances, but the executive director or board has absolute discretion in establishing the degree of formality for any particular hearing. In no event is the executive director or board required to adhere to formal rules of evidence or procedure.
