1 Effective June 1, 2021, the State moved from an Elevated Level II - Flexible Operations to normal Level II of the Pandemic Flu and Other Infectious Diseases Policy. With the elimination of the Elevated Level II, there is no need for the screening questionnaires to be answered upon entry to State facilities. The Commission has also dispensed with the taking of temperatures, disinfecting hearing rooms between hearings, and the elevator and restroom restrictions. There is a new sign at the entrance to each of our facilities and visitors must read and acknowledge the sign as they enter our space. Unvaccinated individuals are strongly encouraged to wear masks while on the premises.
Despite these changes, all Hearing Exhibits shall continue to be submitted electronically to the Commission at least three (3) days prior to the hearing. Impeachment documents to be presented during the hearing will be emailed to the Commissioner and the parties during the hearing and shall be filed electronically with the Commission after the hearing is concluded.
