The purpose of this bill is to update statutory provisions relating to procedures of the Office of Administrative Hearings. The bill provides that written objections to revocation notices may be filed by facsimile or e-mail. It requires notices of hearing to be sent to the parties and their legal counsel. The bill provides that the Office of Administrative Hearings has subpoena authority and that parties may enforce subpoenas in circuit court. The bill deletes language indicating that a notice of hearing sent by certified or registered mail to a law-enforcement officer constitutes a subpoena to appear. It authorizes the Office of Administrative Hearings to propose legislative rules "to implement the provisions of this article and to carry out the duties prescribed therein." And the bill requires persons with pending cases to provide written notice of change of address. §17C-5C-4a and §17C-5C-4b are new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
