§232.26. Dismissal or Amendment of Determinations.


(a) Upon motion to the appointed Hearing Officer, the Chief DAS may dismiss or amend a Determination as follows:

(1) A Determination may be dismissed or amended to eliminate or reduce a charge of violation from serious and knowing to knowing, an amount of monetary penalty, or a period of debarment that is not warranted under the facts and circumstances of the case, or that has been satisfied, or to conform to an order of the Hearing Officer or the Administrator.

(2) For good cause, a Determination may be amended to revise or increase a charge from knowing to serious and knowing, an amount of monetary penalty, or a period of debarment based upon a recomputation or the discovery of new evidence subsequent to the issuance of the original Assessment or Notice.

(b) The Hearing Officer shall grant any motion to dismiss or amend a Determination downward under subparts (a)(1) absent a showing that such dismissal or amendment will result in the forfeiture of substantial substantive rights of another Party to the proceeding. The Hearing Officer may grant a motion to amend a Determination upward under subpart (a)(2) under such terms as are just, including where appropriate the extension of an additional opportunity for early settlement under Rule 21 [Section 232.21]. Unless the Hearing Officer determines otherwise, an amended Determination shall be deemed fully controverted without need for filing an additional or amended Request for Review.

(c) The Administrator may, upon the record on review of the Determination and without amendment, increase or decrease the penalty -- whether civil penalty or debarment -- based upon consideration of the factors listed in Labor Code section 1777.7(f).
