Section 859-050-0100 - Appearance at Hearings by Remote Means
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) Participation via telephone, other two-way electronic communication device, or simultaneous electronic transmission (collectively hereafter, "by remote means") is permitted at PSRB Hearings.
(2) Appearance at hearings by remote means may be used by the Board, persons under the jurisdiction of the PSRB, witnesses or victims when the hearings recording equipment allows for its use. All hearings before the Board will be conducted by remote means unless there is a basis for in-person attendance that cannot be accommodated by remote means.
(3) If a hearing is scheduled to occur in-person any party may request the Board order in-person attendance of a witness or person under the jurisdiction of the Board if the written request is made at least 10 business days prior to notice of the hearing. A party needs to give notice to the Board if the party wants in-person presence rather than appearing by remote means of other parties or witnesses. The request shall include the basis or reason for in-person attendance that cannot otherwise be achieved through appearing by remote means.
(4) PSRB Board members may appear by remote means.
(5) Board staff shall ensure that defense counsel can consult with the individual person under the jurisdiction of the Board at any time during a remote hearing in a setting where the attorney-client privilege is not compromised.
(6) The Board will make reasonable accommodations for the known disability of any participant in Board hearings.
