1. The director of administrative hearings shall adopt, in accordance with chapter 28-32,
rules of administrative hearings practice or procedure which implement chapter 28-32
and which aid in the course and conduct of all administrative hearings and related
proceedings conducted by administrative agencies under chapter 28-32. The uniform

uniform rule governs.

designating administrative law judges; and to facilitate the performance of duties and
responsibilities conferred by this chapter. Any rules adopted by the director of
administrative hearings pursuant to this subsection must be adopted in accordance
with chapter 28-32.
