The Administrative Hearings Division manages the progress of and conducts hearings in all matters within the jurisdiction of the Commission for which an adjudicatory or evidentiary hearing is requested or required. Administrative Law Judges have been delegated authority to administer oaths; issue and enforce subpoenas; schedule status conferences and hearings; establish procedural schedules; compel discovery; examine witnesses; make evidentiary rulings and render rulings on motions, exceptions, and other preliminary matters. They also prepare recommendations to the Commissioners concerning all final determinations and prepare orders.
