1. The Commissioner may hold a hearing in Carson City, Nevada, or any other place of convenience to parties and witnesses, as the Commissioner determines. The Commissioner, a deputy or assistant of the Commissioner, or a person appointed by the Commissioner, shall preside at the hearing, and shall expedite the hearing and all procedures involved therein.
2. The Commissioner may appoint a person who is not associated with the Division to conduct a hearing if the hearing requires a disinterested or impartial hearing officer. A person so appointed shall comply with the provisions which govern hearings conducted by the Commissioner. An order issued by such a person has the same effect as an order issued by the Commissioner.
3. Testimony may be taken orally or by deposition, and any party has the same right to introduce evidence by interrogatories or deposition as the party would have in a district court.
4. Upon good cause shown the Commissioner shall permit to become a party to the hearing by intervention, if timely, only such persons, not original parties thereto, whose pecuniary interests are to be directly and immediately affected by the Commissioner’s order made upon the hearing.
5. The Commissioner shall cause a record of the proceedings to be made. If transcribed, a copy of the record must be part of the Commissioner’s record of the hearing and a copy must be furnished to any other party to the hearing, at the request and expense of the other party. If no such record is transcribed, the Commissioner shall prepare a summary record of the proceedings and evidence.
