  the agency, one or more members of the agency, or one  or  more  hearing
  officers  designated  and  empowered  by  the agency to conduct hearings
  shall be  presiding  officers.    Hearings  shall  be  conducted  in  an

  and sufficient affidavit of  personal  bias  or  disqualification  of  a
  presiding  officer, the agency shall determine the matter as part of the
  record in the case, and its determination shall be a matter  subject  to
  judicial  review  at  the  conclusion  of  the  adjudicatory proceeding.
  Whenever a presiding officer is disqualified or it  becomes  impractical
  for  him  to  continue  the  hearing,  another  presiding officer may be
  assigned to continue with the case unless it is shown  that  substantial
  prejudice to the party will result therefrom.

  party to issue such subpoenas under the provisions of the civil practice
  law and rules.

2023 New York Laws › SAP - State Administrative Procedure Act › Article 3 - Adjudicatory Proceedings › 306 - Evidence.

§  306.  Evidence.  1.  Irrelevant  or  unduly repetitious evidence or
  cross-examination may be  excluded.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  by
  statute,  the  burden  of  proof shall be on the party who initiated the
  proceeding. No decision, determination or order  shall  be  made  except
  upon  consideration  of the record as a whole or such portion thereof as
  may be cited by any party to the proceeding and as supported by  and  in
  accordance  with  substantial evidence. Unless otherwise provided by any
  statute, agencies need not observe the rules  of  evidence  observed  by
  courts,  but  shall  give effect to the rules of privilege recognized by
  law.  Objections to evidentiary offers may be made and shall be noted in
  the record.   Subject to these requirements,  an  agency  may,  for  the
  purpose  of  expediting hearings, and when the interests of parties will
  not be  substantially  prejudiced  thereby,  adopt  procedures  for  the
  submission of all or part of the evidence in written form.
2.  All evidence, including records and documents in the possession of
  the agency of which it desires to avail itself,  shall  be  offered  and
  made  a  part  of  the  record, and all such documentary evidence may be
  received in the form of copies  or  excerpts,  or  by  incorporation  by
  reference.  In  case  of  incorporation  by  reference, the materials so
  incorporated shall be available for examination by  the  parties  before
  being received in evidence.
3. A party shall have the right of cross-examination.
4.  Official notice may be taken of all facts of which judicial notice
  could be taken and of other facts within the  specialized  knowledge  of
  the  agency.    When  official  notice  is  taken of a material fact not
  appearing in the evidence in the record and  of  which  judicial  notice
  could  not be taken, every party shall be given notice thereof and shall
  on timely request be  afforded  an  opportunity  prior  to  decision  to
  dispute the fact or its materiality.

§   308.  Streamlined  optional  adjudicatory  proceedings  for  small
  businesses. Unless otherwise prohibited by  law,  an  agency  may  adopt
  regulations  providing  for  use  at  the  option of a small business of
  streamlined adjudicatory proceedings conducted by mail, electronic mail,
  telephone conference or videoconference. In adopting  such  regulations,
  the agency shall:
1.   consider  the  types  of  programs  and  issues  for  which  such
  streamlined proceedings may reasonably be conducted, taking into account
  (a) the complexity of the matters to be resolved in the proceeding,  (b)
  the  severity  of  potential  sanctions,  (c) any necessity for personal
  appearances,  including  but  not  limited  to  requirements  for  sworn
  testimony  or  cross-examination, and (d) any potential reduction in the
  costs and burdens of participating in the proceeding for the agency  and
  for  other  parties,  and  shall appropriately limit the availability of
  streamlined proceedings to programs  and  issues  in  which  the  public
  interest in fair outcomes can continue to be assured;
2. ensure that a streamlined proceeding may only be used at the option
  of  the respondent small business with the consent of the agency and any
  other necessary  party  to  the  proceeding,  and  that  the  rights  of
  respondents  and  other parties will not be diminished in any respect by
  virtue of participation in a streamlined proceeding;
3. specify the format or formats for  remote  conduct  of  streamlined
  proceedings;
4.   establish   procedures   for   requesting   and  scheduling  such
  proceedings,  for  the  conduct  of  such  proceedings,  and   for   the
  development  of  a  complete record as provided in section three hundred
  two of this article; and
5.  provide  that,  in  the  event  that  it  becomes  impractical  or
  inappropriate  to  continue  a  proceeding  commenced  pursuant  to this
  section as a streamlined proceeding, such proceeding may be  rescheduled
  as  an  adjudicatory proceeding pursuant to section three hundred one of
  this article without prejudice to any party.

§  401.  Licenses. 1. When licensing is required by law to be preceded
  by notice and opportunity for hearing, the provisions  of  this  chapter
  concerning  adjudicatory  proceedings  apply.  For purposes of this act,
  statutes providing an opportunity for hearing shall be deemed to include
  statutes providing an opportunity to be heard.
2. When a licensee has made timely and sufficient application for  the
  renewal  of a license or a new license with reference to any activity of
  a continuing nature, the existing license  does  not  expire  until  the
  application  has been finally determined by the agency, and, in case the
  application is denied or the terms of the new license limited, until the
  last day for seeking review of the agency order or a later date fixed by
  order of the reviewing court, provided that this subdivision  shall  not
  affect  any valid agency action then in effect summarily suspending such
  license.
3. If  the  agency  finds  that  public  health,  safety,  or  welfare
  imperatively  requires  emergency  action, and incorporates a finding to
  that effect in its  order,  summary  suspension  of  a  license  may  be
  ordered,  effective  on the date specified in such order or upon service
  of a certified copy of such order on the licensee,  whichever  shall  be
  later,  pending  proceedings  for  revocation  or  other  action.  These
  proceedings shall be promptly instituted and determined.
4. When the hearing seeks  the  revocation  of  a  license  or  permit
  previously granted by the agency, either party shall, upon demand and at
  least  seven  days  prior to the hearing, disclose the evidence that the
  party  intends  to  introduce  at  the  hearing,  including  documentary
  evidence   and  identification  of  witnesses,  provided,  however,  the
  provisions of this subdivision  shall  not  be  deemed  to  require  the
  disclosure  of  information  or material otherwise protected by law from
  disclosure, including information  and  material  protected  because  of
  privilege  or  confidentiality.  If,  after  such  disclosure,  a  party
  determines to rely upon other witnesses or information, the party shall,
  as soon as practicable, supplement its disclosure by providing the names
  of such witnesses or the additional documents.

  required by subdivision nine of section eight  of  this  chapter,  shall
  designate  the body whose principles he has chosen to follow and explain
  the reasons for his choice.
2.  If,  because  of  a  change  in  generally   accepted   accounting
  principles,  the  comptroller  determines  that  it  is  not possible to
  conform  fully  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   the
  comptroller shall in such annual report specify the principles that will
  be  followed and outline a program for future conformance with generally
  accepted accounting principles.

  position  and  results  of  operations than an alternative principle, he
  shall specify in such annual  report  the  alternative  principle  being
  followed.

  aspect of  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  is  impractical,
  prohibitively  costly,  or  undesirable  on  the  basis  of cost-benefit
  considerations, the comptroller shall specify the alternative  principle
  being followed, and the reasons including cost information, if relevant,
  for his determination in this regard.

made); (iii)  detection  of  non-transactional  fraud  such  as  program
eligibility issues and identify theft; and
(c) evaluate potential savings resulting from such efforts.
