The presiding officer may resolve preliminary procedural
motions by telephone conference or other electronic means in which all parties
have an opportunity to participate. Other proceedings may be held by telephone
or other electronic means with the consent of all parties. The presiding
officer will determine the location of the parties and witnesses for hearings
held by telephone or other electronic means. The convenience of the witnesses
or parties, as well as the nature of the case, will be considered when location
is chosen. Disciplinary hearings will generally not be held by telephone or
electronic means in the absence of consent by all parties, but the presiding
officer may permit any witness to testify by telephone or other electronic
means. Parties shall disclose at or prior to the prehearing conference whether
any witness will be testifying by telephone or other electronic means.
Objections, if any, shall be filed with the division and served on all parties
at least three business days in advance of hearing.
