253 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 14, § 001
In any contested case all parties directly interested shall be afforded an opportunity to file pleadings and to be heard after notice, which shall state the time and place of hearing, the issues involved and shall be given at least ten days prior to such hearing. In such hearing formal rules of pleading and evidence need not necessarily be observed; provided, however, the provisions of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-914 shall apply. Matters offered into evidence subject to objection under the provisions of said section shall stand as admitted into evidence unless objection thereto is made and sustained. A copy of the official record of hearing, or any part thereof, shall be furnished to any interested party at its expense, upon written request. The Board and interested parties may provide for the payment of the expense of transcribing and copying said official record by agreement. The Board may compensate witnesses which it calls. The compensation, if any, of other witnesses shall be borne by the party calling such witnesses. All such hearings shall be open to the public.
