Idaho Admin. Code r. 62.01.01.451
The agency or agency staff may conduct any inspection, examination, or investigation authorized by statute or rule at any time without making a discovery request or filing a motion to compel discovery. This rule recognizes, but does not enlarge or restrict, an agency's statutory and/or regulatory right of inspection, examination (including mental or physical examination), or investigation which is independent of, and cumulative to, any right of discovery in contested case proceedings, and may be exercised by the agency whether or not a person is party to a contested case proceeding before the agency. Information obtained from any such statutory or regulatory inspection, examination, or investigation may be used in any contested case proceeding or for any other purpose, except as restricted by statute or rule. The presiding officer may, by order and upon request by the agency, authorize or compel any such inspection, examination, or investigation authorized by statute or rule.
