Administrative Adjudication and Judicial Review

• Section Number: 667.840
• Section Name: Is there an alternative dispute resolution process that may be used in place of an OALJ hearing?

    (a) Parties to a complaint which has been filed according to the 

requirements of Sec. 667.800 of this part may choose to waive their

stipulated facts and render a decision in accordance with applicable 

law. A written decision must be issued within 60 days after submission 

of the matter for informal review.

    (b) The waiver of the right to request a hearing before the OALJ 

will automatically be revoked if a settlement has not been reached or a 

decision has not been issued within the 60 days provided in paragraph 

(a) of this section.

    (c) The decision rendered under this informal review process will 

be treated as a final decision of an Administrative Law Judge under 

section 186(b) of the Act.
