Idaho Admin. Code r. 31.01.01.311
A proceeding is fully submitted for decision upon filing of the hearing record with the Commission Secretary, filing of timely briefs, filing of timely orders proposed by the parties and timely written comments or exceptions, oral argument, or receipt of recommended findings of fact of the hearing examiner, whichever is last, but no later than twenty-eight (28) days after hearing is closed when a hearing is held, except when all Commissioners participating in the decision have heard the case themselves, they need not await the filing of the hearing record to consider the case fully submitted for their decision. The Commission (or a hearing examiner presiding over an uncontested matter) may issue a final decision earlier or rule from the bench, but a bench ruling will be followed by written order.
