Ariz. Admin. Code § 6-8-109

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section R6-8-109 - Scheduling and Notice of Hearing

A. Hearings shall be held at those regularly established hearing locations most convenient to the parties or, at the discretion of the hearing officer, by telephone. The parties shall be given no less than 20 days' notice of hearing, except that the parties may waive the notice period or request a delay.

B. The notice of hearing shall inform the parties of the date, time, and place of hearing, the name of the hearing officer, the issues involved, and the right to:

1. Present the case in person or by telephone.

2. Copy any documents to be used by the Department at the hearing at a reasonable time before the hearing.

3. Request a change of hearing officer.

C. If a party contacts the Office of Appeals promptly after receiving the notice of hearing and requests a postponement for good cause, the hearing officer shall grant a postponement for a reasonable period. Good cause exists when the circumstances causing the request are beyond the reasonable control of the requesting party and failure to grant the postponement would result in undue hardship to the requesting party.

D. All scheduling is the responsibility of the Office of Appeals.
