§ 4011. License—Denial

The Board may, with the affirmative vote of three (3) of its members, deny, suspend, revoke or cancel a license after notifying and giving the interested party an opportunity to be heard, when said party:

(a) Fails to meet the requirements established in this chapter to obtain a license;

(b) has illegally practiced the profession [of] nuclear medicine technologist in Puerto Rico;

(c) has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor substantially related to the qualifications, functions and duties of the profession regulated by this chapter;

(d) has obtained or tried to obtain the license through fraud or deception;

(e) has incurred manifest incompetence in the practice of the profession in prejudice of a third party;

(f) has failed to renew his/her license after it has been issued as provided in this chapter, and

(g) has been declared incompetent by a court of justice. If the person is subsequently declared competent, the Board may grant the license after the person has met the renewal requirements established in this chapter.

When the Board determines that denial, suspension or renewal of a license issued is in order, it shall so notify the technologist in writing, by certified mail with acknowledgement of receipt. Should the technologist be dissatisfied with the determination of the Board, the latter shall be compelled to grant a hearing, pursuant to the provisions of § 4012 of this title.
