Sec. 4.9. Reports and recommended decisions

Latest version.

(a) In any case set for hearing, the presiding officer may submit a report to the commission or prepare a recommended decision. If a report is submitted, the commission may decide the case without further proceedings.
(b) If a recommended decision is prepared, the secretary shall determine in the first instance whether to issue it for exceptions or to present it directly to the commission. If it is presented to the commission, the commission may adopt it (with or without modification) without further proceedings or may direct that it be issued for exceptions. If the commission directs issuance of a recommended decision, it may restrict exceptions to specified issues. A recommended decision that is issued for exceptions shall be served on all parties.
