relate to hearing examiners" are substituted for "this Act" to
reflect the codification of the Act in this title. The words "to
diminish the constitutional rights of any person or" are omitted as
surplusage as there is nothing in the Act that can reasonably be
construed to diminish those rights and because a statute may not
operate in derogation of the Constitution.

is omitted as executed.
