Part 6

ORAL ARGUMENT/RECONSIDERATION

If a proposed final decision is issued, any party may make written request for oral argument and/or may file with the commissioner written exceptions thereto within fourteen (14) days after mailing of the proposed final decision. Unless otherwise specified by the commissioner, exceptions shall state with particularity the party's objections to the proposed final decision, and may not raise legal issues or factual issues which could have been, but were not, raised at the hearing. A date and time shall then be set for oral argument and all parties shall have the opportunity to present their arguments for a time period of no more than fifteen (15) minutes, unless such other time period is allowed by the commissioner.
