The President of the Board shall preside over all disciplinary hearings falling within the jurisdiction conferred on the Board by I.C. 36-8-10-11 and § 33.015. However, the President, at his or her discretion, may appoint another person to preside over any hearing. The hearings shall follow the usual procedure of the state trial courts concerning arraignment, opening statements, presentation of evidence, rebuttal and arguments, except that the Board, at the direction of the presiding officer, may accept evidence not necessarily admissible in the state trial courts. Pursuant to I.C. 36-8-10-11(d) and § 33.015, the Board shall have subpoena powers, enforceable by the County Circuit Court, which may be exercised in connection with any and all disciplinary hearings before it.
