EDITORS NOTE:             As is standard procedure, the Commission utilizes an adjudicatory hearing, which is a more formal proceeding than a public hearing, when legal rights, duties or privileges of specifically named persons are to be determined. The hearing is open to the public and will be streamed live on the Commission’s website.  At the conclusion of an adjudicatory proceeding, unlike a public hearing which is subject to the Open Meeting Law, the Commission will deliberate in private and then issue a written decision.  Accordingly, the decision will not be issued the same day as the hearing.  It is anticipated that the issuance of a written decision will occur the following week.
