SECTION 255:10-5-5. Proposed orders

  At any individual hearing not heard by a majority of the members of the Board, the decision, if adverse to a party to the proceeding shall not be made until a proposed order is served upon the parties and an opportunity is afforded to each party adversely affected to file exceptions and present brief and oral arguments to the Board. The proposed order shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons therefor and for each issue of fact or law necessary to the proposed order, prepared by the person who conducted the hearing, or by one who has read the record. Exceptions must be filed with the Secretary of the Board within ten (10) days of mailing the proposed order to the complainant. If exceptions are filed, the Board shall set the time and place for the Board to consider the proposed order and the exceptions to it, and cause notice of such time and place to be mailed to the complainant. Briefs in support of exceptions must be filed with the Board at least seven (7) days before such hearing. The complainant may personally or through a counsel, be present and present oral argument to the Board in support of the exceptions. If no exceptions are filed, the Board will consider the proposed order at its next regular or special meeting, or at such other time as is convenient to the Board.
