A. The respondent may be represented by any person licensed to practice law in the state. An individual respondent may represent himself.

B. The rules of evidence as applied in the courts do not apply in these proceedings. Any relevant evidence may be admitted, and such evidence shall be sufficient in itself to support a finding if it is reliable, regardless of the existence of any statutory or common law rule that might make admission of such evidence improper in a civil action. Irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded at a party's request or on the hearing examiner's own initiative.

C. Documentary evidence may be received in evidence in the form of true copies of the original.

D. Documentary and other physical evidence may be authenticated or identified by any reasonable means that shows that the matter in question is what its proponent claims it to be.

E. The experience, technical competence and specialized knowledge of the hearing examiner, the board, or its staff may be used in the evaluation of evidence. Evidence on which the board may base its decision is limited to the following:

(1) all evidence, including any records, investigation reports, and documents in the board's possession, of which it desires to avail itself as evidence in making a decision, that is offered and made a part of the record of the proceeding;

(2) testimony and exhibits introduced by the parties; and

(3) official notice of any fact of which judicial notice may be taken and other facts within the board's specialized knowledge; whenever the hearing examiner takes official notice of any fact, the noticed fact and its source must be stated at the earliest possible time before or during the hearing, and any party must be given, on timely request, an opportunity to show the contrary.

F. The record will include all briefs, proposed findings and exceptions and must show the ruling on each finding, exception or conclusion presented.

G. A party to a hearing shall submit to the hearing examiner and to all other parties to the hearing all documents to be introduced at the hearing no later than five days from the scheduled hearing date to insure that the hearing examiner and other parties receive the documents before the hearing.
