Mich. Admin. Code R. 338.1608 - Compliance conference; request for adjournment; hearing to establish record for disciplinary action only

Rule 8.

(1) The department may conduct a compliance conference held pursuant to section 16231(5) of the code, MCL 333.16231, informally and not as an evidentiary hearing. A licensee or registrant may submit a written statement before the date of the compliance conference.

(2) A respondent may request and may be granted an adjournment of the compliance conference for good cause. As used in this subrule, "good cause" means that the respondent submitted a written request for adjournment to the department that provides legally sufficient grounds to warrant the adjournment, such as circumstances beyond the respondent's control.

(3) If the parties agree on all issues except the terms of the appropriate disciplinary action, the department must schedule a hearing to establish an official record for consideration by the disciplinary subcommittee of the appropriate board or task force in making its determination of the appropriate disciplinary action. The disciplinary subcommittee must consider the parties' agreement and the official record of the hearing when determining the appropriate disciplinary action.
