The Commission announces that we may be resuming
in-person hearings effective June 8, 2020. The hearings
will be staggered in order to accommodate physical
distancing. Exhibits shall continue to be submitted
electronically three days prior to the hearing. There is
no need to email the exhibits to the Commission or the
parties. Public access is strictly limited to
claimants, attorneys, parties, and witnesses to hearings
scheduled on that particular day. The Commission will
continue to hold video hearings daily for those
participants who are uncomfortable attending in-person
hearings. If you are scheduled for an in-person hearing
and wish to request a VRH instead, you must request a
postponement of the in-person hearing and file an
Emergency Hearing Request and follow the instructions
for a VRH posted on the webpage.
Social
distancing will be required and highlighted for everyone
visiting the Commission hearing sites and offices. Your
cooperation and assistance in this regard will be
appreciated. We request that parties arrive shortly
before their scheduled in-person hearing and depart
immediately after. While the Commission will allow
documents to be hand-delivered to the Public Service
area in Baltimore, they must be dropped off on a table
on the fourth floor set up for this purpose. There will
be no waiting on site for these documents to be
processed. They will be returned via mail.
If
attorneys, claimants, witnesses, or anyone else is sick
or not feeling well, STAY HOME; do not come to the
Commission. Continuances will be granted and the case
will be reset as quickly as possible. We appreciate your
cooperation with the new rules as we slowly get back to
normal operations in a safe and measured manner. |
