§ 10288. Ex Parte Communications After the Close of the Public Hearing and After the End of the Time Period for Receipt of Written Communications; Public Comments and Responses.
(a) If an ex parte communication occurs after the close of the public hearing or the deadline for submitting written comments but before the Commission has voted on the matter that is the subject of the communication, the ex parte communication shall be disclosed as required by Section 10283 and notice of the communication shall be provided as required by Section 10286.
(b) The Commission Chair or the Commission may determine that the communication contains new or different information pertinent to the decision being made. The Commission Chair or the Commission may also determine that reopening the public hearing is therefore necessary to protect the integrity of the decision-making process.
(c) If the Commission chair or the Commission makes both such determinations, it shall circulate the communication to the entire Commission and may reopen the public hearing to allow the public sufficient opportunity to comment on and to rebut the information contained in the communication unless a legal deadline for voting prevents reopening the hearing.
