An appeal may be taken to the commissioner from a ruling of an officer during the course of a hearing only where extraordinary circumstances necessitate a prompt decision by the commissioner to prevent detriment to the public interest.
Any offer of proof made in connection with an objection taken to any ruling of the hearing officer rejecting or excluding proffered oral testimony shall consist of a statement of the substance of the evidence which counsel contends would be adduced by such testimony; and, if the excluded evidence in documentary or written form or reference to documents or records, a copy of such evidence shall be marked for identification and shall constitute the offer of proof.
