The Public Hearing provides members of the public with the opportunity to submit and present comments on proposed amendments to ICJ Rules.
The hearing is required pursuant to ICJ Rule 2-103 which reads, in part:
4. Each proposed rule or amendment shall state:
a. The place, time, and date of the scheduled public hearing;
b. The manner in which interested persons may submit notice to the Commission of their intention to attend the public hearing and any written comments; and
c. The name, position, physical and electronic mail address, telephone, and telefax number of the person to whom interested persons may respond with notice of their attendance and written comments.
5. Every public hearing shall be conducted in a manner providing each person who wishes to comment a fair and reasonable opportunity to comment. No transcript of the public hearing is required, unless a written request for a transcript is made, in which case the person requesting the transcript shall pay for the transcript. A recording may be made in lieu of a transcript under the same terms and conditions as a transcript. This subsection shall not preclude the Commission from making a transcript or recording of the public hearing if it so chooses.
6. Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a separate public hearing on each rule or amendment. Rules or amendments may be grouped for the convenience of the Commission at public hearings required by this section.
7. Following the scheduled public hearing date, the Commission shall consider all written and oral comments received.
