Section 310:403-31-4 - Filing an action

(a) The Department may begin a disciplinary action against an LBP or a person practicing behavioral health services who is not exempt from licensure by following the procedures in Chapter 2 of this Title. The Department shall request the appropriate remedy. In making its recommendation, the Department may seek the counsel of the Advisory Board. Remedies include revocation of a license, suspension of a license, probation of a licensee and administrative penalty.

(b) If in the course of an investigation the Department determines that a licensee or candidate for licensure has engaged in conduct of a nature that is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the public, and which conduct necessitates immediate action to prevent further harm, the Commissioner may order a summary suspension of the counselor's license or authorization to conduct behavioral health services, behavioral treatment interventions, and/or consulting. A presumption of imminent harm to the public shall exist if the Department determines that probable cause exists that a licensee or candidate has violated 310:403-7-4 or 310:403-7-6(d).
