Section 4626.13 - Rules of evidence

(a) The rules of evidence governing proceedings in the courts of the State shall not be rigidly enforced in hearings before the commission and, unless objection is made and duly noted in the stenographic record of a hearing, all evidence appearing in the stenographic record shall be deemed to have been validly introduced for the consideration of the commission.

(b) The introduction of cumulative evidence shall be avoided, and the hearing officer may curtail the testimony of any witness that the hearing officer judges to be merely cumulative; however, the party offering such testimony may make a short avowal of the testimony that would be given if the witness asserts that such avowal is true. This avowal shall be made a part of the stenographic record.
