(b) The department may hear all petitions, applications, or motions filed with the department. Hearings may be conducted by the department, by any member of the department, or by any administrative law judge authorized by the department. In case the hearing is conducted by an administrative law judge, the administrative law judge must promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearing, unless the time is extended by order of the department:
(1) report to the department the facts established by the evidence; and
(2) submit a suggested order, showing the findings and a decision in the order, to the department.
