Office of Administrative Hearings

The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) is a government agency that conducts impartial hearings to resolve disputes between individuals or organizations and government agencies. It acts as a neutral tribunal where parties can present their cases regarding disputes over rights, penalties, or decisions made by government bodies. OAH ensures these hearings are fair, following established legal procedures, and issues decisions that help resolve these conflicts efficiently. It plays a key role in administering justice and ensuring government actions comply with laws, providing an accessible, independent forum outside of courts for administrative disputes.
