In the event exceptions to the initial decision are filed pursuant to section 24-4-105 (14)(a)(I), C.R.S., such review shall be in accordance with section 24-4-105 (15), C.R.S.; except that the state department may, at its discretion, permit a party to file an audio recording in lieu of a written transcript if the party cannot afford a written transcript. The state board may adopt rules delineating the criteria and process for filing an audio recording in lieu of a written transcript.
