Conducting the Oral Proceeding Sample Clauses

Conducting the Oral Proceeding. An agency must conduct the oral proceeding in a manner that allows adequate discussion of the substance and form of the proposed rule. A.R.S. § 41-1023(D). Thus, the agency must hold the proceeding at a location that is easily accessible and provides adequate space to accommodate those in attendance. The notice and accommodations must satisfy the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). See Chapter 15. See also Chapter 7 for procedures required of agencies subject to the Open Meeting Law. The oral proceeding may be presided over by the members of the agency who must ultimately decide on adoption of the rule, a member of the agency, or another presiding officer designated by the agency.

R.S. § 41-1023(D). Because the public is allowed to seek information about the rule at the proceeding, the agency should have available those individuals who have information about the subject of the rule. To ensure a fair and efficient oral proceeding, the presiding officer must enforce proper conduct. The presiding officer should officially recognize a person before he or she speaks. An agency may take action necessary to maintain order, rule on motions and procedural questions arising during the oral proceeding, call recesses or adjourn the oral proceeding, recognize speakers and allot time for their presentations, question speakers, and grant extensions of the deadline for submitting comments. Each person who speaks at the oral proceeding, when recognized, may make a statement limited to the subject of the oral proceeding. After the statement is c...
