				  evidence. Any oral or documentary evidence may be received, but the presiding
				  officer shall, as a matter of policy, exclude irrelevant, immaterial or unduly
				  repetitious evidence. The commissioners or presiding officer shall give effect
				  to the rules of privilege recognized by law in Connecticut. Subject to these
				  requirements and subject to the right of any party to cross examine, any
				  testimony may be received in written form.
(b) Documentary Evidence. Documentary
				  evidence may be received at the discretion of the commissioners or presiding
				  officer in the form of copies or excerpts, if the original is not found readily
				  available. Upon request by any party an opportunity shall be granted to compare
				  the copy with the original, which shall be subject to production by the person
				  offering such copies, subject to the provisions of Section
				  52-180
				  of the General Statutes as amended.
(c) Cross examination. Such cross examination
				  may be conducted as the commissioners or the presiding officer shall find to be
				  required for a full and true disclosure of the facts.
(d) Facts noticed, Authority records. The
				  commissioners may take notice of judicially cognizable facts, including prior
				  decisions and orders of the commissioners. Any exhibit admitted as evidence by
				  the commissioners of the presiding officer in a prior hearing of a contested
				  case may be offered as evidence in a subsequent contested case and admitted as
				  an exhibit therein; but the commissioners shall not deem such exhibit to be
				  judicially cognizable in whole or in part and shall not consider any facts set
				  forth therein unless such exhibit is duly admitted as evidence in the contested
				  case then being heard.
(e) Facts
				  noticed, procedure. The commissioners may take notice of generally recognized
				  technical or scientific facts within the Authority's specialized knowledge.
				  Parties shall be afforded an opportunity to contest the material so noticed by
				  being notified before or during the hearing, by an appropriate reference in
				  preliminary reports or otherwise of the material noticed. This provision shall
				  also apply to material noticed in any staff memoranda or data that may be
				  submitted to the commissioners for their consideration in the determination of
				  the contested case. The commissioners shall nevertheless employ the Authority's
				  experience, technical competence, and specialized knowledge in evaluating the
				  evidence presented at the hearing for the purpose of making their finding of
				  facts and arriving at a decision in any contested case.
