# §2200.72. Objections.

- (a) **Statement of objection.** Any objection with respect to the conduct of the hearing, including any objection to the introduction of evidence or a ruling by the Judge, may be stated orally or in writing, accompanied by a short statement of the grounds for the objection, and shall be included in the record. No such objection shall be deemed waived by further participation in the hearing.
- (b) **Offer of proof.** Whenever evidence is excluded from the record, the party offering such evidence may make an offer of proof, which shall be included in the record of the proceeding.
- (c) **Once the Judge rules definitively on the record—** either before or at the hearing—a party need not renew an objection or offer of proof to preserve a claim of error for appeal.
