Documents : Executive Order No. 131 (9 NYCRR § 4.131)

July 9, 2009 Memo to ALJs from Russell J. Hanks (Supervisory Changes to Decision Drafts)

This memo was written because "Recently a few hearing officers have expressed a lack of clarity regarding OTDA policy involving supervisory changes to draft decisions when the hearing officer doesn’t make the suggested changes."

Mr. Hanks instructed that

This practice was directly addressed in Executive Order 131. Subsequent to the issuance of the order, then General Counsel Susan Demers sent a memo to all hearing officers setting forth the agency’s actions to comply with the order, specifically the Executive Order’s requirements in those circumstances where a hearing officer fails to comply with the drafting guidance of a Supervising Hearing Officer, necessitating that the changes be made by the Supervising Hearing Officer. Rather than reiterate the contents of General Counsel Demers’ memo I have attached a  copy of it. The relevant text is found in the next to last paragraph.
