Section 325.21920. Direct testimony and exhibits.

When in any case it is deemed necessary, the presiding officer may direct that the direct testimony of any witness or witnesses be submitted in written form, together with any exhibits to be sponsored by the witness, before hearing. Such direct testimony shall be submitted in typewritten form on 8 1/2 inch by 11-inch paper  and shall be in question and answer form. The direct testimony of each witness so submitted shall be made a separate exhibit, and the name and address of the witness, together with the caption of the case, shall appear on a cover sheet. Each witness is required to be present at  the  hearing  to introduce  his  or  her   written  testimony  as an  exhibit  and  for cross-examination at such  date,  time,  and  place  as  directed  by the presiding officer. In any case, and upon request therefor, a party shall have the right, notwithstanding any provision of this rule, to have any witness on his or her behalf present his or her direct testimony orally before the hearing officer.
