§1141.2. Ethics Adjudicatory Board

A. The director of the division of administrative law shall, at a public meeting of the Board of Ethics in December of the year preceding the year in which the terms are to begin, randomly select seven administrative law judges from among those who meet the qualifications to comprise the Ethics Adjudicatory Board. The last selected judge shall serve as the alternate. Members of the adjudicatory board shall have not less than two years of experience as an administrative law judge or not less than ten years experience in the practice of law.

B.(1) The members shall each serve a three-year term, which term shall begin on January first. There shall be no limitation on the number of times a qualified member may be selected to serve.

(2) A vacancy on either three-judge panel shall be filled by the alternate judge.

(3) A vacancy on the Ethics Adjudicatory Board shall be filled for the unexpired term at the next public meeting of the Board of Ethics and in the same manner as for the original selection. The last selected judge shall serve as the alternate.

C. Members of the Ethics Adjudicatory Board shall be subject to the same financial disclosure requirements as are provided by law for members of the Board of Ethics. Such members shall also be subject to the same limitations regarding contracting as are applicable to the members of the Board of Ethics as provided by law.

D. If an administrative law judge who is a member of the Ethics Adjudicatory Board begins work on a matter prior to the end of his term, he shall not be prohibited from completing work on the matter following the end of his term. He shall be considered a member of the Ethics Adjudicatory Board until such work is complete, and such status shall not affect the selection of members for the Ethics Adjudicatory Board.

E. Any member of the Ethics Adjudicatory Board who has a personal interest in or who becomes the subject of a hearing pursuant to this Part shall recuse himself from participation in such hearing.
