Upon the motion of any party, the ALJ, hearing officer, Chief ALJ's designee, or presiding officer shall have the authority to exclude from the hearing room any witnesses not at the time under examination; but a party to the proceeding, or the party's counsel or other person representing a party, shall not be excluded. When a state agency is a party it is entitled to the presence of one other officer or employee in addition to its counsel or representative.
