Section 75:45-2-1 - General Provisions

(a)Confidentiality. All parties and the Administrative Law Judge shall have a duty to preserve the confidentiality of protected health information of patients as required under federal or state law.

(b)Public hearings. All hearings conducted by the Office of the Attorney General shall be public and held in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. The use of cameras or other audio-visual recording equipment shall comply with Rule 39.1 of the Oklahoma County District Court Rules.

(c)Computation of time. When filing documents in the proceeding, the following provisions apply:

(1)Filing deadlines. In computing any period of time, begin on the day after the act or event, and conclude on the last day of the computed period, unless it be a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which the period runs until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, nor a legal holiday.

(2)Filing and evidence of filing. Documents required to be filed are considered filed on the date of personal service of such documents or upon the date of the postmark showing date mailed on the envelope containing such documents and must show a date on or before the last day of filing as defined above.

(3)Use of certified or registered mail. If the document is sent by United States registered mail, the date of registration of the document shall be treated as the postmarked date. If the document is sent by United States certified mail and the sender's receipt is postmarked by the postal employee, the date of the United States postmark on such receipt shall be treated as the postmark date of the document. Thus, the risk that the document will not be postmarked on the day that it is deposited in the mail may be overcome by the use of registered mail or certified mail.
