R380-10-8. Presiding Officer's Decision

In all instances where an agency head has designated a person to serve as presiding officer in an adjudicative proceeding, the presiding officer's decision is a recommended decision to the agency head and the agency head may accept, reverse, or modify the presiding officer's order and may remand the order to the presiding officer for further proceedings. If the agency head reverses or modifies the presiding officer's order, the agency head's order shall contain revised findings of fact and conclusions of law as needed, based on the record before the presiding officer and as may be supplemented before the agency head.
