Section 4b-100-8 - Procedures at informal conference(a) The presiding officer shall be responsible for conducting the informal conference and insuring that the Petitioner and Respondent have a fair opportunity to present their respective arguments relative to the alleged violation(s) set forth in the petition.(b) The Petitioner shall proceed first, and the Respondent shall thereafter be provided with an opportunity to rebut Petitioner's claims. The presiding officer may ask questions or request the production of any additional documents he deems necessary to make an informed decision in the matter.(c) Because time is of the essence and because the Petitioner and Respondent are required to file their supportive documentation with the Department prior to the informal conference, additional documents may not be presented at the informal conference, except where good cause is shown for the failure to provide the document prior to the informal conference or where the presiding officer determines that the document is necessary to make an informed decision and the parties will not be substantially prejudiced by the introduction of the document.Conn.
