c. Such other reasonable requirement or restrictions as are proper.

7. Refusal to renew a license.

8. Revocation of probation which has been granted previously and imposition of any other disciplinary action in this subsection when the requirements of probation have not been fulfilled or have been violated.

9. Disposition of any formal complaint may be made by consent order or stipulation between the Board and the licensee.

C. Summary Suspension

The Board may summarily suspend a license without a hearing, simultaneously with the filing of a formal complaint and notice of hearing, if the Board determines that the health, safety, or welfare of the general public is in immediate danger.

Suspension of license without a hearing with simultaneous filing of a formal complaint and notice for a hearing provided under this section if the Board finds that the continued practice in the profession would constitute an immediate danger to the public. If the Board summarily suspends a license under the provisions of this subsection, a hearing must begin within twenty (20) calendar days after such suspension begins, unless continued at the request of the licensee or extraordinary conditions.

The Board may order a licensee to submit to a reasonable physical or mental examination, if the licensee's physical or mental capacity to practice safely is an issue in a disciplinary proceeding. All licensees consent to this procedure as a condition of licensure.

Failure to comply with a Board order to submit to a physical or mental examination shall render a licensee subject to the summary suspension procedures described above.
