Section 859-200-0125 - Quorum; Decisions; Board Member Conflicts

For any Board hearing:

(1) Three concurring votes (affirmative or negative) are required to make a Board decision.

(2) When three members cannot agree on the decision, the hearing may be continued for a reasonable time and the recording of the hearing and the exhibits shall be reviewed by the remaining member(s) and a decision by the majority of the members shall be the finding and order of the Board.

(3) If the attorney for the person objects to the remaining member's or members' review as set forth in section (2) of this rule, the Board may reschedule the matter for a hearing before the entire Board.

(4) If an objection for good cause is made to a specific member of the Board sitting on the panel considering a specific case, that member shall withdraw and, if necessary, the hearing shall be postponed and rescheduled.

(5) If an objection for good cause is made to a specific staff member of the Board being present during the panel's deliberations in a specific case, and if the Board determines that good cause exists, that staff member shall not be present during deliberations in that case. The Board may, on its own motion, identify a Board member conflict with a case and exclude the Board member from considering any matter related to that case.
