Sec.7-294e-23. Proposed final decision

When in a contested case all members of the action committee of the council who are to render the final decision have not heard the case or read the record, the decision, if adverse to a party, shall not be made until a proposed final decision is served upon the parties and an opportunity is afforded to each party adversely affected to file exceptions and present briefs and oral argument to the members of the action committee who are to render the decision. The proposed final decision shall be in writing and contain a statement of reasons for the decision and findings of fact and conclusions of law on each issue of fact or law necessary to the decision, prepared by the person who conducted the hearing or one who has read the record. The parties may waive compliance with this section.
