Chapter 2. California Apprenticeship Council
Article 10. Required Apprentices On Public Works Contract
Subchapter 1. Apprenticeship
Article 4 Hearings

§232.49. Hearing Record; Recording of Testimony and other Proceedings.

(a) The Hearing Officer and the Administrator shall maintain an official record of all proceedings conducted under these Rules. In the absence of a determination under subpart (b) below, all testimony and other proceedings at any hearing shall be recorded by audiotape. However, no recording by audiotape or otherwise shall be required of a duly noticed hearing at which none of the Parties appear. Recorded testimony or other proceedings need not be transcribed unless requested for purposes of further court review of a decision or order in the same case.

(b) Upon the application of any Party or upon his or her own motion, the Hearing Officer may authorize the use of a certified court reporter, videotape, or other appropriate means to record the testimony and other proceedings. Any application by a Party under this subpart shall be made at a prehearing conference or by prehearing motion filed no later than 10 days prior to the scheduled date of hearing. Upon the granting of any such application, it shall be the responsibility of the Party or Parties who made the application to procure and pay for the services of a qualified person and any additional equipment needed to record the testimony and proceedings by the requested means. Ordinarily the granting of such application will be conditioned on the applicant's paying for certified copies of the transcript for the official record and for the other Parties. The failure of a requesting Party to comply with this requirement shall not be cause for delaying the hearing on the merits, but instead shall result in the proceedings being tape recorded in accordance with subpart (a).

(c) The Parties may, at their own expense, arrange for the recording of testimony and other proceedings through a different means other than the one authorized by the Hearing Officer, provided that it does not in any way interfere with the Hearing Officer's control and conduct of the proceedings, and further provided that, it shall not be regarded as an official record for any purpose absent a stipulation by all of the Parties or order of the Hearing Officer.
