Session Introduction Display slide.
Explain that we will first review the session learning objectives and session structure. Explain the importance of administrative codes to the everyday work of an inspector/investigator. Acknowledge the difficulty in being more specific about administrative codes during this chapter. Attendees come from a variety of jurisdictions, whose codes will differ from one another; therefore, this module is necessarily generic when talking about administrative codes. This session will however, include discussion of broad, fundamental concepts under which regulatory entities generally operate.

Sources & Functions of Administrative Law
Principles of Administrative Law Sources and Functions of Administrative Law Purpose of Administrative Agencies The Regulatory Process Administrative Agencies, Boards, and Colleges Limits on Administrative Agencies Adjudication of Administrative Cases Sources & Functions of Administrative Law Administrative Law is a branch of statutes, rules, policies, and court decisions that tell us how government agencies can and do operate Display slide. Explain that statutes enacted by legislatures, rules promulgated by administrative agencies, policies established by the jurisdiction’s Chief Executive Officer (Example: Governor), and decisions rendered by courts combine to make up the body of administrative law. All of these things serve to control the administrative operations of government.

Sources & Functions of Administrative Law
Principles of Administrative Law Sources and Functions of Administrative Law Purpose of Administrative Agencies The Regulatory Process Administrative Agencies, Boards, and Colleges Limits on Administrative Agencies Adjudication of Administrative Cases Sources & Functions of Administrative Law Procedural vs. Substantive Authority Differences from Civil and Criminal Law Display slide. Explain Two types of authority Substantive: Laws that create rights (Example: Amendments) Procedural: The process that must be followed to affect a right Initially what is termed as Administrative Law could be broadly defined as procedural and not substantive. Over the past 60 years, administrative agencies have been given increased substantive authority by legislatures and the courts have continually upheld this increased authority. Administrative law is not classified as Civil Law and it is different from Criminal Law, because it has its own very special rules. These rules usually include some variations of the rules of evidence and discovery. While different from criminal law, some jurisdictions classify it as quasi-criminal.

Explain The composition of a regulatory board may vary greatly from one jurisdiction to the next. In terms of the composition of a given board, most jurisdictions include: Individuals who are members of the profession, occupation or trade or practitioners of the activity that is being regulated. Many jurisdictions also require that a set portion of the membership be citizen members, that is, individuals who are not members of the profession, occupation or trade that is being regulated. In most instances individuals are appointed by the chief executive of the government, which would be the Governor in the case of state governments. In addition, in some instances the appointments must be confirmed by the legislature.

Principles of Administrative Law Sources and Functions of Administrative Law Purpose of Administrative Agencies The Regulatory Process Administrative Agencies, Boards, and Colleges Limits on Administrative Agencies Adjudication of Administrative Cases Types of Agencies Autonomous Boards Centralized Agencies Semi-Autonomous Agencies/Boards Display slide. Explain Autonomous Boards Focused on a single regulated activity or a group of related activities, and Board has, in many cases, direct authority over staff Example: Board for Auctioneers as a free standing entity with authority to hire and fire executive director and licensing and investigation staff Centralized Agency Several boards covering a wide variety of regulated activities housed in a single "umbrella" agency, and Agency staff not under direct control of the individual boards Example: Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, which houses 21 boards. The Executive Director appointed by the Governor and he or she has direct control over the agency's staff, not the individual boards. Semi-Autonomous Falls somewhere in between an autonomous board on one end of the continuum and a centralized agency on the other.

Adjudication of Administrative Cases
Principles of Administrative Law Sources and Functions of Administrative Law Purpose of Administrative Agencies The Regulatory Process Administrative Agencies, Boards, and Colleges Limits on Administrative Agencies Adjudication of Administrative Cases Informal Hearings Alternative Dispute Resolution/Mediation Mediation Arbitration Display slide. Explain an informal hearing is usually less formal than consent orders and summary suspensions. An informal hearing allows for agencies to formulate settlements that address a wide range of conduct while exceeding statutory authority regarding what it can impose. The various methods and types of informal hearings are: Alternative dispute resolution proceeding – any structured process in which a neutral party assists all involved parties in reaching a voluntary settlement by means of dispute resolution processes such as: Mediation Conciliation Facilitation Partnering Fact-finding Neutral evaluation Use of ombudsmen Or any other proceeding leading to a voluntary settlement. Mediation – a process in which a neutral party facilitates communication between the parties and without deciding the issues or imposing a solution on the parties enabling them to understand and resolve their dispute. Arbitration – a proceeding in which a dispute is resolved by an impartial adjudicator whose decision is final and binding. A hearing and determination of a disputed matter by an impartial referee agreed to by both parties.

Explain: Nature of Proceedings Generally considered civil, but has its own set of rules. Look to the administrative process to determine the set of rules Not criminal, so criminal procedure and most criminal defenses do not apply. Rules of Evidence do not apply, but are usually followed. Hearsay evidence generally is allowed, but it is not given great weight. Allowed but generally considered weak evidence

Explain: Basic Requirements of the Proceeding Notice: Time and Place of the hearing Legal Authority the agency is relying on Facts asserted and alleged regulations or laws violated. Discovery Usually limited to turning over investigative file and providing a list of witnesses Not as extensive as in the civil or criminal arena No right to discovery in administrative proceedings Intended to expedite the proceeding Opportunity to present and contest evidence Written Decision Final order and contains appeal rights and requirements Appeal rights Note: If something comes up that you want to include in the record, after notice has already been sent and received, you can submit an amended notice. The other option is to hope that notice is waived by the aggrieved party at hearing. However, this is unlikely to happen unless the additional information is in favor of the licensee.

Issues Related to Adjudication
Principles of Administrative Law Sources and Functions of Administrative Law Purpose of Administrative Agencies The Regulatory Process Administrative Agencies, Boards, and Colleges Limits on Administrative Agencies Adjudication of Administrative Cases Issues Related to Adjudication Interagency Agreements Referral of cases for criminal action or unlicensed activity Display slide. Explain interagency agreements require cooperation and coordinated action. Interagency agreements are useful when an activity is regulated by more than one regulator entity. They can be used to conserve resources or increase efficiency by allowing one agency to take the lead or providing of joint activities. Referral of criminal actions. In the typical professional or occupational licensing situation the licensee has placed himself or herself under the authority of the board. This is not so in instances of unlicensed activity. In many jurisdictions unlicensed activity is not a regulatory violation but a criminal violation. Note: Unlicensed activity is not under the prevue of the agency because you don’t license the offender in the first place. When an activity is performed by an unlicensed individual, and that activity requires a license, the offender is now open to criminal proceedings. In these scenarios, an investigator with the licensing agency may be called upon as a witness due to expert knowledge in the related field, and/or to provide proof that the person is unlicensed.

Explain: Final Order Appeal Judicial Review Regularly operates to provide relief for the individual person who is harmed by a particular agency action Using three standards, one of which is “Arbitrary, Capricious or Abuse of Discretion,” courts must always assure that the agency has: Acted constitutionally (provided required due process) Acted within the scope of its authority (statutory authority) Used the correct constitutional or statutory procedures (followed the APA procedures of the agency’s own rules of practice for disciplinary proceedings.) Reached a decision that is supported by the facts Instituted a justified penalty
