Evidence is admissible, and excludable, as provided in Section 67-5251, Idaho Code. The presiding officer may exclude inadmissible evidence with or without motion. Evidence should be taken by the presiding officer to assist the parties' development of the record, not excluded to frustrate that development. The presiding officer at hearing is not bound by the Idaho Rules of Evidence, except as to rules governing evidentiary privileges, or where otherwise required by statute or rule.
