Proposal for decision by hearing panel (Repealed)

(a) The decision by a hearing panel shall be treated as a proposal for decision within the meaning of that term as it is used in Chapter 54 of the General Statutes, and as it is specifically used in Section 4-179. (b) The hearing panel's proposal for decision shall not be adopted by the Board until it has been served upon all parties, and until an opportunity has been afforded to each party adversely affected by the proposed decision to file exceptions, to present briefs, and to make oral argument before the Board. The Board may limit the period of time for argument by serving notice of such limitation upon all of the parties simultaneously with the proposal for decision. For good cause shown, the Board may enlarge the period of time for argument if the request is made in writing, stating the reasons therefor, and filed with the Department at least five business days prior to the proceeding at which such proposal for decision is scheduled to be discussed or acted upon by the Board. (c) In the proposal for decision to be served upon the parties, the hearing panel will set forth its summary of each issue of fact or law that it finds necessary to reach the conclusion contained in the proposed decision. (d) Compliance with the above stated requirement concerning the proposal for decision may be waived by a written stipulation of the parties.
