WAC 388-526-0395 When may the parties bring in evidence? (Emergency rule effective 6/10/12.)

1.  The parties may bring evidence to any prehearing meeting, prehearing conference, or hearing, or may send in evidence before these events.

2.  The administrative law judge (ALJ) may set a deadline before the hearing for the parties to provide proposed exhibits and names of witnesses. If the parties miss the deadline, the ALJ may refuse to admit the evidence unless the parties show:

a.  They have good cause for missing the deadline; or

b.  That the other parties agree.

3.  If the ALJ gives the parties more time to submit evidence, the parties may send it in after the hearing. The ALJ may allow more time for the other parties to respond to the new evidence.
