1. Except as otherwise provided by law, in computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by any rule, regulation, or order of the Division, or by any applicable statute, the date of the act, event, or default from or after which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included, but the last date of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in Rhode Island, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next business day.
B. Extensions of Time.

Upon a request made after the expiration of the specified period the Hearing Officer may extend the specified time upon good cause and upon a showing of excusable neglect for failure to act within the specified period.

Division hearings shall begin at the time and place fixed in an order or a notice, but thereafter may be adjourned from time to time or from place to place by the Hearing Officer.
