Kan. Admin. Regs. § 51-3-5a - Procedure for preliminary hearings
(a) Medical reports or any other records or statements shall be
considered by the administrative law judge at the preliminary hearing. However,
the reports shall not be considered as evidence when the administrative law
judge makes a final award in the case, unless all parties stipulate to the
reports, records, or statements or unless the report, record, or statement is
later supported by the testimony of the physician, surgeon, or other person
making the report, record, or statement. If medical reports are not available
or have not been produced before the preliminary hearing, either party shall be
entitled to an ex parte order for production of the reports upon motion to the
administrative law judge.
(b) If the decision of the administrative law judge is not
rendered within five days of the hearing, the applicant's attorney shall notify
the director, who shall make demand upon the administrative law judge for this
decision.
(c) In no case shall an application for preliminary hearing be
entertained by the administrative law judge when written notice has not been
given to the adverse party pursuant to K.S.A. 44-534a.
