Rule 14.  Rules of Evidence.

To the extent practicable, the Colorado Rules of Evidence apply in all hearings conducted by the OAC.  Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever the word "court", "judge" or "jury" appears in the Colorado Rules of Evidence such word shall be construed to mean an administrative law judge.  An administrative law judge has the discretion to admit evidence not admissible under such rules, as permitted by Section 24-4-105(7), C.R.S. or other law.
