Section 380:1-7-9 - Hearing procedures: presiding officer

The hearing shall be conducted in an orderly manner by the Labor Commissioner or his designee. The order of procedure will follow generally that which obtains in civil proceedings at law. However, strictness of procedures shall not be required, the objective being that fairness and orderliness prevail to afford a full hearing which protects the rights of all concerned. The rules of evidence shall be those specified by the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. The Labor Commissioner shall be the presiding officer at the hearing or proceeding. However, in his absence, the Labor Commissioner's designee shall serve as presiding officer.
