    1. (1) Issue a letter of reprimand.
    2. (2) Censure a licensee or registrant.
    3. (3) Place a licensee or registrant on probationary status, and require the licensee or registrant to do all of the following:

      1. a. Report regularly to the Board upon the matters which are the basis of the probation.
      2. b. Limit all practice and professional activities to the areas prescribed by the Board.
    4. (4) Suspend any licensee’s license or registrant’s registration.
    5. (5) Revoke any licensee’s license or registrant’s registration.
    6. (6) Impose a monetary penalty not to exceed $500 for each violation.
    7. (7) The Board shall permanently revoke the license or registration of any individual who the Board determines has been convicted of a felony sexual offense.
  2. (b) The Board may withdraw or reduce conditions of probation when it finds that the deficiencies which required the Board to place an individual on probationary status have been remedied.
  3. (c) If a formal or informal complaint concerning activity of a licensee or registrant that presents a clear and immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare, the Board may temporarily suspend the licensee’s license or registrant’s registration, pending a hearing, upon the written order of the Secretary of State, or the Secretary’s designee, with the concurrence of the Board President, or the Board President’s designee. An order temporarily suspending a license may not be issued unless the individual or the individual’s attorney receives at least 24 hours’ written or oral notice before the temporary suspension so that the individual or the individual’s attorney may file a written response to the proposed temporary suspension. The decision whether to issue the temporary order of suspension must be decided on the written submissions. An order of temporary suspension pending a hearing may remain in effect for no longer than 60 days from the date of the issuance of the order unless the temporarily suspended individual requests a continuance of the hearing date. If the temporarily suspended individual requests a continuance, the order of temporary suspension remains in effect until the hearing is convened and a decision is rendered by the Board. An individual whose license or registration has been temporarily suspended pursuant to this section may request an expedited hearing. The Board shall schedule the hearing on an expedited basis, if the Board receives the request within 5 calendar days from the date on which the individual received notification of the decision to temporarily suspend the individual’s license or registration.
  4. (d) Whenever an individual’s license or registration has been suspended due to a disability of the individual, the Board may reinstate the individual’s license or registration if, after a hearing, the Board is satisfied that the individual is able to practice with reasonable skill and safety.
  5. (e) As a condition to reinstatement of a suspended license or registration, or removal from probationary status, the Board may impose any disciplinary or corrective measures authorized under this chapter.
