§ 343. Final Attorney General Decisions.
Currentness
(a) Upon completion of the briefing process or after 15 days of service of the proposed decision, the Attorney General may do any of the following:
(1) Adopt the proposed decision in its entirety.
(2) Reduce or otherwise mitigate the proposed decision in its entirety.
(3) Make technical or non-substantive changes, which do not affect the factual or legal basis of the proposed decision and adopt it as the final decision.
(4) Non-adopt the proposed decision. If the proposed decision is not adopted, the Attorney General may decide the case upon the record, including the transcript, or may refer the case back to the hearing officer to take additional evidence. If the case is remanded back to the hearing officer for taking additional evidence, another proposed decision shall be prepared based upon this additional evidence. The proposed decision shall be subject to the review and adoption procedures set out in these regulations.
(A) Before deciding any case on the record, the Attorney General shall give the parties the opportunity to present further written argument.
(B) If the record and/or the parties' arguments reveal the need for additional evidence, the Attorney General in the Attorney General's discretion may order the taking of additional evidence either by the Attorney General or by the hearing officer. Following the receipt of any additional evidence, the Attorney General may require further written or oral argument before deeming the case submitted for final decision.
(b) The proposed decision shall be deemed adopted by the Attorney General 100 days after service of the proposed decision by the hearing officer, unless within that time: (1) the Attorney General notifies the parties that the proposed decision is or is not adopted or is otherwise modified, or (2) the matter is referred to the hearing officer to take additional evidence.
(c) The decision shall become effective 30 days after it is mailed to the parties, unless reconsideration of the decision is ordered within that time or the Attorney General orders that the decision shall become effective sooner.
(d) The Attorney General may designate as precedent the decision or any part thereof that contains a significant legal or policy determination that is likely to recur.
(1) Once a decision is designated as precedent, parties may cite to such decisions in their briefs to the Attorney General, hearing officer, and the courts.
(2) If the Attorney General decides to designate precedent decisions under this regulation, then an index of significant legal and policy determinations made in these decisions shall be maintained and made available to the public at the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers as well as publicized annually in the California Regulatory Notice Register. The index shall be maintained at least annually, unless no precedent decisions have been designated since the last preceding update.
