§ 9222. Disqualification of Hearing Officer.
A hearing officer or agency member shall voluntarily disqualify
himself and withdraw from any case in which he cannot accord a fair and
impartial hearing or consideration. Any party may request the
disqualification of any hearing officer or agency member by filing an
affidavit prior to the taking of evidence at a hearing, stating with
particularity the grounds upon which it is claimed that a fair and
impartial hearing cannot be accorded. Where the request concerns an
agency member, the agency shall determine the issue if it hears the case
with the hearing officer, otherwise the hearing officer shall determine the
issue. If the disqualification would prevent the existence of a quorum
qualified to act in the particular case, an agency member shall not
withdraw voluntarily or be subject to disqualification.
