Ill. Admin. Code tit. 38, § 100.185 - Disqualification of Administrative Law Judges
a) An Administrative Law Judge may, on their
own motion, recuse themselves from presiding over a matter due to conflict of
interest or bias.
b) At any time
prior to the issuance of the ALJ's final decision or recommendation, a Party
may file a motion to disqualify the ALJ for bias or conflict of interest. An
adverse ruling made by an ALJ, in and of itself, shall not constitute bias or
conflict of interest. The motion shall set forth the alleged grounds of bias or
conflict of interest and shall include supporting affidavits. A different ALJ
shall have 7 days after the motion was filed to enter a written ruling, which
shall be served on all Parties. An adverse ruling or rulings rendered against
the Party or its representative in any previous matter shall not, in and of
themselves, constitute sufficient grounds for disqualification under this
Section.
c) If the motion to
disqualify is denied, the moving Party may request the decision be reviewed by
the Secretary or Director.
