Section 208-08-090. Submission on stipulated facts.

With the agreement of the department, a party may waive a hearing and submit its case upon stipulated facts and briefs. Submission of a case without a hearing does not relieve the parties from the necessity of proving the facts supporting their allegations or defenses. The presiding officer shall review the submissions of the parties and shall enter a proposed order, including findings of fact and conclusions of law. If the parties agree, they may submit the stipulated facts to the director or designee for a final order, bypassing the presiding officer.
