Record of the Hearing
Operative Text
A. Administrative Record. The administrative record of a hearing shall consist of the notice of hearing, the complaint, as it may have been amended, the answer, as the same may have been amended, the transcript of the hearing, all documents accepted into evidence, proffers of evidence, orders, motions and objections thereto, memoranda, stipulations, the findings of fact, conclusions of law and final Orders of the Commission. B. Transcripts of a Hearing. Transcripts of hearings shall be available at the Commission's office for examination and copying. If any party files proceedings for judicial review, the Commission shall, upon request by any party, provide a copy of the transcript of the hearing at such reasonable prepaid charge as the Commission shall establish.
Under 515 RICR 10-00-2 § 2.15, Rhode Island Commission hearings generate an official administrative record that includes the notice of hearing, complaint, answer, transcript, admitted evidence, orders, motions, memoranda, stipulations, and final findings and conclusions. Transcripts of those hearings are kept at the Commission's office and are open for examination and copying. When a party seeks judicial review of a Commission decision, a copy of the transcript can be obtained from the Commission at a prepaid charge the Commission sets.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers involved in Commission proceedings governed by 515 RICR 10-00-2 § 2.15 should be aware that every document submitted—pleadings, evidence, motions, and memoranda—becomes part of the permanent administrative record. Compliant operators generally retain copies of all materials they submit to the Commission, since those documents may later be referenced in judicial review proceedings. Transcript copies are available from the Commission's office at a reasonable prepaid charge, which can be useful when reviewing the record after a hearing concludes.

Tenants who participate in Commission hearings should know that 515 RICR 10-00-2 § 2.15 guarantees that the full record of the proceeding—including the transcript, evidence, and orders—is preserved and accessible at the Commission's office for examination and copying. If a decision is appealed to a court for judicial review, any party may request a copy of the hearing transcript from the Commission at a prepaid charge. Tenants seeking to understand their options after a hearing, including how to access the record or pursue judicial review, may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Rhode Island administrative proceedings.
