Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Assignment. The commission may, by order,
				  assign a matter pending before it to a hearing examiner. Unless otherwise
				  ordered, the hearing examiner shall conduct all further proceedings in the
				  matter on behalf of the commission in accordance with these rules. In the
				  discharge of his duties, the hearing examiner shall exercise all the
				  adjudicatory powers possessed by the commission including, inter alia, the
				  power to administer oaths; require the attendance of witnesses and parties;
				  require the production of documents; schedule and conduct pre-hearing
				  conferences; admit or exclude evidence; grant or deny continuances; and rule on
				  motions, matters of law, and procedural questions. The hearing examiner shall,
				  upon conclusion of all assigned duties, issue a written final report and
				  recommendation to the commission at the conclusion of the
				  proceedings.
B. Objections and
				  certification of issues. An objection to a ruling by the hearing examiner
				  during a hearing shall be stated with the reasons therefor at the time of the
				  ruling. Any objection to a hearing examiner's ruling may be argued to the
				  commission as part of a response to the hearing examiner's report. A ruling by
				  the hearing examiner that denies further participation by a party in interest
				  or the commission staff in a proceeding that has not been concluded may be
				  immediately appealed to the commission by filing a written motion with the
				  commission for review. Upon the motion of any party or the staff, or upon the
				  hearing examiner's own initiative, the hearing examiner may certify any other
				  material issue to the commission for its consideration and resolution. Pending
				  resolution by the commission of a ruling appealed or certified, the hearing
				  examiner shall retain procedural control of the proceeding.
C. Responses to hearing examiner reports.
				  Unless otherwise ordered by the hearing examiner, responses supporting or
				  objecting to the hearing examiner's final report must be filed within 21 days
				  of the issuance of the report. A reply to a response to the hearing examiner's
				  report may only be filed with leave of the commission. The commission may
				  accept, modify, or reject the hearing examiner's recommendations in any manner
				  consistent with law and the evidence, notwithstanding an absence of objections
				  to the hearing examiner's report.
