(e) To offer rebuttal evidence.
5. If the respondent does not testify in his or her own behalf, the respondent may be called and examined as if under cross-examination.
6. The hearing need not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses. Any relevant evidence may be admitted and is sufficient in itself to support a finding if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common-law or statutory rule which might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in a civil action.
7. The parties or their counsel may by written stipulation agree that certain specified evidence may be admitted even though such evidence might otherwise be subject to objection.

The Legislature hereby finds, and declares it to be the policy of this state, that:
1. The stability and continuity of gaming establishments in this state are essential to the State’s economy and to the general welfare of its residents.
2. Any closure of a gaming establishment because of a surrender, lapse, revocation or suspension of its license may cause unnecessary financial hardship to its employees, creditors and investors and may have an adverse economic effect on the residents of the community in which it is located and on the State generally.
3. Public confidence and trust in the ability of the State to control gaming operations must not be sacrificed by any relaxation of strict controls in particular circumstances merely to permit gaming operations to continue.
4. Placing the management and control of a gaming establishment whose license is surrendered, lapsed, suspended or revoked under a competent supervisory official may ensure the proper regulation of the establishment while maintaining its value for its creditors and investors, protecting the interests of other persons, avoiding any disruption of the economy of the community in which it is located, and promoting the general welfare of the State.
