Sec. 50-203.18  Evidence.

    (a) Witnesses appearing at the hearing need not be sworn. The 
administrative law judge may, however, within his discretion, require 
that witnesses take an oath or affirmation as to testimony submitted.
    (b) Written statements may be filed any time prior to the date of 
the hearing by persons who cannot appear personally.
    (c) Written documents and exhibits shall be tendered in 
quadruplicate. When evidence is embraced in a document containing matter 
not intended to be put in evidence, within the discretion of the 
administrative law judge, such a document will not be received but the 
person offering the same may present to the administrative law judge the 
original document together with two copies of those portions of the 
document intended to be put in evidence.
    (d) At any stage of the hearing, the administrative law judge may 
call for further evidence upon any matter. After the hearing has been 
closed, no further evidence shall be taken, except at the request of the 
Administrative Review Board, unless provision has been made at the 
hearing for the later receipt of such evidence. In the event that the 
Administrative Review Board shall cause the hearing to be reopened for 
the purpose of receiving further evidence, due and reasonable notice of 
the time and place fixed for such taking of testimony shall be given to 
all persons who have appeared at the hearing or filed a notice of 
intention to appear at the hearing.
    (e) The rules of evidence prevailing in courts of law or equity 
shall not be controlling. However, it shall be the policy to exclude 
irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence.
