Section Saf-C 203.36 - Waiver of Procedural Rules(a) A hearing examiner, upon the accepted motion of any interested person, shall waive any procedural requirement or limitation imposed by this chapter upon reasonable notice to affected persons when it appears that the proposed waiver or suspension is lawful, and would be more likely to promote the fair, accurate and efficient resolution of issues properly pending before the hearing examiner than would adherence to particular procedural rules or requirements. A motion for waiver or suspension of a procedural rule or order shall fully set forth the reasons for the requested relief.(b) Notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, a hearing examiner, during a declared state of emergency, may waive the personal appearance requirement and permit appearance at a hearing by telephone, video conference, or alternative means.
