(a) The chairman of the board shall be the executive head of the appeals division. He may delegate to any person employed in the appeals division such authority as he deems reasonable and proper for the effective administration of the division's responsibilities.
(b) In any appeal to the board the board or any of its members may hear the appeal, except that the full board shall hear and decide cases requiring the application of subsection (a)(3) of section 31-236 and cases in which a party has specifically requested in writing a hearing by the full board, provided the decision on all appeals shall be by a majority vote of the full board. The board shall approve or reject, by a majority vote, each request for a hearing before the full board in accordance with the criteria for granting such requests established in regulations adopted pursuant to section 31-237g. In any case before the board, the board may delegate to a referee or other qualified employee of the appeals division the taking or hearing of evidence.

History: P.A. 79-100 transferred responsibility for hearing appeals from chairman to board or any number and specified that decisions must be made by a majority vote of the full board; P.A. 83-570 required board to approve or reject each request for a hearing before the full board by a majority vote; P.A. 88-53 amended Subsec. (b) to authorize the board to delegate to a qualified employee of the appeals division the taking or hearing of evidence; (Revisor's note: In 1991 the reference in Subsec. (b) to “subsection (3)” was changed editorially by the Revisors to read “subsection (a)(3)”).
