witnesses shall be paid by the appellant.
b)         An appellant may request the Department employee who had
direct involvement in the case or other persons who may have information

Administrator of the Administrative Hearings Unit to issue appropriate
subpoenas. Witness fees and travel expenses for persons other than Department
employees are the responsibility of the party requesting the subpoena.

filed with the administrative law judge at least ten calendar days before the
hearing.  Copies shall be sent to the Department's representative and the
appellant.
d)         At the appellant's request, the Department shall provide an
interpreter at no cost to the appellant if English is not the appellant's
primary language or a sign interpreter if the appellant is hearing impaired.
e)         During the administrative hearing, the appellant and the
Department have the right to:
1)         present and question witnesses;
2)         present any information relevant to the issues;
3)         question or disprove any information, including an opportunity
to question opposing witnesses; and
4)         dispose of any disputed issue by mutually agreeing to a
resolution any time prior to the conclusion of the administrative hearing.

of proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Department was in
error when it denied the appellant's application for a foster family home
license.
