811—16.9(17A) Disqualification.
	16.9(4) If a party asserts disqualification on any appropriate ground, including those listed in subrule 16.9(1), the party must file a motion supported by an affidavit pursuant to Iowa Code section 17A.17(7). The motion must be filed as soon as practicable after the reason alleged in the motion becomes known to the party. If, during the course of the hearing, a party first becomes aware of evidence of bias or other grounds for disqualification, the party may move for disqualification but must establish the grounds by the introduction of evidence into the record.
If the presiding officer determines that disqualification is appropriate, the presiding officer or other person must withdraw. If the presiding officer determines that withdrawal is not required, the presiding officer must enter an order to that effect.
