1104.01000 – In General; Conduct of Hearing

PERB regulations clothe an ALJ with the power and duty to: “inquire fully into all issues and obtain a complete record upon which the decision can be rendered” (PERB Reg. 32170(a)); “regulate the course and conduct of the hearing” (PERB Reg. 32170(d)); “rule on objections, motions and question of procedure” (PERB Reg. 32170(f)); and “take evidence and rules on the admissibility of evidence” (PERB Reg. 32170(h)). Moreover, in unfair practice cases, “immaterial, irrelevant, or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded.” (PERB Reg. 32176.)
