Sec. 60-30.19  Objections; exceptions; offer of proof.

    (a) Objections. If a party objects to the admission or rejection of 
any evidence or to the limitation of the scope of any examination or 
cross-examination or the failure to limit such scope, he shall state 
briefly the grounds for such objection. Rulings on all objections shall 
appear in the record. Only objections made on the record may be relied 
upon subsequently in the proceedings.
    (b) Exceptions. Formal exception to an adverse ruling is not 
required. Rulings by the Administrative Law Judge shall not be appealed 
prior to the transfer of the case to the Secretary, but shall be 
considered by the Secretary upon filing exceptions to the Administrative 
Law Judge's recommendations and conclusions.
    (c) Offer of proof. An offer of proof made in connection with an 
objection taken to any ruling excluding proffered oral testimony shall 
consist of a statement of the substance of the evidence which counsel 
contends would be adduced by such testimony; and, if the excluded 
evidence consists of evidence in written form or consists of reference 
to documents, a copy of such evidence shall be marked for identification 
and shall accompany the record as the offer of proof.
