Chapter 233 - Nevada Equal Rights Commission
Section 233.125 - Rules of evidence; informality of proceedings

1. In conducting an investigation, inquiry or hearing, the Commission is not bound by the technical rules of evidence and the informality in any proceeding or the manner or order of the taking of testimony does not invalidate any order, decision or regulation adopted, approved or confirmed by the Commission.

2. Generally, the Commission will follow the rules of evidence used in the courts of this State, but the Commission, in its discretion, may relax those rules if deviation from those rules will aid in ascertaining the facts.

3. To be admitted at a hearing, evidence must be material and relevant to the issues presented at the hearing.

4. If a party at a hearing objects to the admissibility of evidence, the Commission may receive the evidence subject to any subsequent ruling of the Commission.

5. The Commission may, with or without objection, exclude inadmissible, incompetent, cumulative or irrelevant evidence.

6. If a party objects to the introduction of evidence, the party shall briefly state the grounds of the objection at the time the evidence is offered.
