Board members shall disclose any potential conflict of interest in a contested case proceeding on the record at the initiation of the hearing, or during the hearing if they become aware of the existence of a potential conflict of interest. Upon its own motion or the motion of a party, the board may recuse a member with a potential conflict of interest if it determines that the potential conflict of interest raises an unacceptable risk of bias or prejudgment in the contested case proceeding.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 40 SDR 198, effective May 29, 2014.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-6">34A-1-6</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-6-1.6">34A-6-1.6</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-6-1.14">34A-6-1.14</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-11-9">34A-11-9</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=45-9-13">45-9-13.</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=1-26-27">1-26-27</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-21">34A-1-21</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-43">34A-1-43</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-44">34A-1-44</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-45">34A-1-45</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-1-46">34A-1-46.</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> </div> </body> </html>
