Chapter TCS 4 - Administrative Hearing Procedures
Section TCS 4.18 - Record of hearings

(1) METHOD. Hearings will be recorded either stenographically or mechanically, and the transcript together with all exhibits, shall be a part of the official record of such proceeding. A typed transcript will be made when deemed necessary by the board. If a transcript is made by the board, copies will be furnished to all persons upon request at a reasonable cost. If no transcript is deemed necessary by the board and a party requests that one be prepared, that party shall be responsible for all costs of transcript preparation. In lieu of a transcript the board will provide any person a copy of the tape recording of the hearing if mechanically recorded upon request and at a reasonable cost. All requests pursuant to the foregoing shall be made in writing and presented to the hearing examiner at the hearing.

(2) FINANCIAL NEED. Any party who by affidavit or other appropriate means can establish to the board's satisfaction that the party is impecunious may be provided a copy of the transcript or a copy of the tape recording without charge.

(3) ERRORS IN RECORD. Any party, within 7 days of the date of mailing of the transcript, may file with the board a notice in writing of any claimed error in the record and shall mail a copy of the notice to each party of record. All parties will be advised by the board of any authorized corrections to the record.
