041-7 Wyo. Code R. § 7-3 - Purpose

These rules are established to provide a fair and efficient method for administrative hearings relative to civil penalties, suspension or revocation of licenses by the Board brought under W.S. 35-9-124.

(a) If a hearing is sought by the Department as petitioner, the respondent shall be accorded the rights as set forth below. However, when a serious threat to the public safety exists, due to code violations or other cause, the Board may shorten the time allowed between notice and hearing to not less than 5 days.

(b) When a party outside the Department requests and is granted a hearing, that party, as petitioner, shall also be accorded the rights of a respondent as set forth below. However, when the petitioner is outside the Department, in requesting the hearing he shall provide the Department with the written information required in Section 4(b) below. Also, during the hearing, the petitioner rather than the Department shall proceed first and may briefly rebut the Department's case in response.

(c) These hearing procedures shall not alter the practice of holding informal hearings whenever possible.
