Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

Fairness and due process of law are essential elements of responsible government. Public confidence in government is highest when an agency conducts its adjudicatory business openly and impartially. This regulation supplements and helps explain minimum legal requirements concerning the disclosure of communications that occur outside of the normal hearing process and would therefore not be part of the administrative record when the Commission acts on permit applications and on enforcement cases and takes other adjudicatory actions. However, Commission members can, and are encouraged to, disclose more information relative to any communication that occurs outside of the public record to ensure that all Commission members can make informed decisions.
