[Eff. 10-20-02] §201-3 Disqualification of Commission member or hearing officer. Any party to a hearing may, up to five days before the proceeding, file an affidavit that one or more of the members or a hearing officer has a personal bias or prejudice. The member against whom the affidavit is so filed may answer the affidavit or may file a disqualifying certificate with the Commission. If the member or hearing officer chooses to answer the affidavit, the remaining members shall decide by a majority of all the members to which the Commission is entitled whether that member or hearing officer should be disqualified from proceeding therein. Every such affidavit shall state the facts and reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists and shall be filed at least five days before the hearing, or good cause shall be shown for the failure to file it within such time. Any Commission member or hearing officer may disqualify himself by filing with the Chairperson a certificate that he deems himself unable for any reason to preside with impartiality in the pending hearing.
