Section 560IAC2-3-8. Motion to extend time; rulings, effect

   (a) Rulings by board. Motions made to the board after the hearing examiner has made his report shall be ruled upon by the board or its designated agent.

  (b) Rulings by hearing examiner. Rulings and orders by the hearing examiner on motions or on admission of evidence, if announced at the hearing, shall be stated orally on the record. In all other instances, such rulings and orders shall be issued in writing. The hearing examiner shall cause a copy of his rulings and orders to be served upon each of the parties. A hearing examiner also may make his rulings and orders in his report. All motions, rulings, and orders shall become a part of the record. A hearing examiner's rulings on objections and orders issued on motions shall not be appealed directly to the board except by special permission of the board. The board shall consider such rulings and orders in reviewing the record along with the hearing examiner's report. Requests to the board for special permission to appeal such rulings of the hearing examiner shall be filed promptly in writing and shall briefly state the grounds relied on. Such requests shall not operate to suspend or stay proceedings but shall be processed simultaneously. The filing of an answer or continued participation in the proceedings shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to make motions or objections to rulings.

  (c) Effect of order to extend time. The granting of a motion to extend time shall automatically extend the time for any party who must complete the same act as the petitioner.
