§ 17554. Amended Notice of Disciplinary Action.

At any time before an employee's appeal is submitted to the State Personnel Board or its authorized representative for decision, the appointing authority may, with the consent of the Board, or its authorized representative serve on the employee and file with the Board an amended or supplemental notice of disciplinary action.

If the amended or supplemental notice presents new causes or allegations, the employee shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to prepare a defense thereto, but he shall not be entitled to file a further appeal unless the State Personnel Board or its authorized representative so orders. Any objections to the amended or supplemental causes or allegations may be made orally at the hearing and shall be noted in the record.
