     14.61 Agency decision in contested case. 

    In all contested cases the decision of the officials of the 
 agency who are to render the final decision shall not be made 
 until the report of the administrative law judge as required by 
 sections 14.48 to 14.56, has been made available to parties to 
 the proceeding for at least ten days and an opportunity has been 
 afforded to each party adversely affected to file exceptions and 
 present argument to a majority of the officials who are to 
 render the decision.  This section does not apply to a contested 
 case under which the report or order of the administrative law 
 judge constitutes the final decision in the case.
