Hearings shall be electronically recorded unless the hearing officer requires recording by stenographic, mechanical or other means. Any party is permitted to make their own recording of the proceeding by providing notice to the tribunal and opposing party at beginning of the hearing of their intent to do so. However, unless designated to the contrary by the presiding hearing officer, the recording of the administrative hearings office is the official record of the proceeding. In the event of a videoconference hearing, only the audio recording portion of the proceeding shall be maintained as part of the record.
