R25-3-14. Appellant's Rights

  (1) Representation. An Appellant may be represented by an attorney of law. However, the State neither provides legal counsel or representation to employees or officers who request a review hearing nor pays the fees for their representation in the course of the Appeal proceedings.

  (2) Pro Se Status. A Party to an Appeal proceeding may appear pro se. When a Party appears pro se, the Party is entitled to request the issuance of subpoenas, directly examine and cross-examine witnesses, make opening and closing statements, submit documentary evidence, summarize testimony, and in all respects fully present one's own case.

  (3) No Reprisal. Pursuant to Subsection 67-19a-303(3), no appointing authority, director, manager, or supervisor may take action to retaliate against an Appellant, a representative, or a witness who participates in or is scheduled to participate in an Appeal proceeding.
