Bill > SB1647

This bill allows the Board of Therapeutic Massage and the Board of Chiropractic Examiners to ask the Administrative Hearing Commission, which is a state agency that handles administrative disputes, to temporarily suspend or restrict a professional's license in emergency situations. This can happen if the licensee is facing criminal charges related to their professional duties and the board has a good reason to believe that the public's health, safety, or welfare is in immediate danger. The process involves the board submitting evidence to the Administrative Hearing Commission, which then reviews the case and can issue an emergency order. A hearing will be held later to determine if the suspension or restriction should continue, and the licensee has the right to present their case. This emergency action is separate from any other disciplinary actions the board might take.
