At any time before the matter is submitted for decision the Department may file an amended or supplemental notice of noncompliance. If the amended or supplemental notice of noncompliance presents new charges, respondent shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to prepare a defense thereto, but respondent shall not be entitled to file a further pleading unless the administrative law judge or hearing officer in its discretion so orders. Any new charges shall be deemed controverted, and any objections to the amended or supplemental pleading shall be in writing.
