157.22 APPOINTING AUTHORITY'S BURDEN OF PROOF.
   (a)   The appointing authority shall prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, the factual allegations in a disciplinary order. Failure to prove each of the allegations contained in an order does not, as a matter of law, require disaffirmance of an order.
 
   (b)   The appointing authority shall demonstrate both the authenticity of the signature on a Chapter 24 Order and the authority of any signer, unless these issues are waived.
