Administrative Rules

Pursuant to MOAHR Administrative Standard 2021-1, beginning September 7, 2021, administrative proceedings will by default be conducted remotely, with a party's request for an in-person proceeding to be considered on a case-by-case basis and granted only upon: (i) a reasonable, good cause showing of accessibility limitations, specific evidentiary issues, or other unique circumstances; and (ii) all parties' agreement to comply with Specific Requirements for In-Person Hearings, as outlined in this Standard.

To further assist remote hearing participants, MOAHR has developed a Standards and Guidelines for Remote Hearings manual, which contains useful information and best practices relevant to the conduct of remote hearings for all practice areas within MOAHR, except for the Corrections area and the Michigan Tax Tribunal. The manual may be found here.
