The rules of evidence described in the Administrative Procedure Act
will be followed by the Board and its hearing officers. Considering that the
Board commonly relies upon information presented to it in applications, written
responses, and related documentation in the routine conduct of its affairs,
including official decision-making in the processing of applications for licensure,
evidence of a similar type will be considered and may be relied upon by the
Board and its hearing officers in the conduct of the Board's affairs involving
official decision-making in all matters relating to licensure, including disciplinary
matters in contested cases.
