(a) The board shall, after notice and opportunity for hearing, have
the power to deny or refuse to renew, suspend, or revoke the license
of, or impose a fine or probationary conditions upon, any licensee
who has been guilty of unprofessional conduct which has endangered
or is likely to endanger the health, welfare, or safety of the
public. Such unprofessional conduct includes: (1) Obtaining or attempting to obtain a license by fraud,
misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts; (2) Being guilty of unprofessional conduct as defined by the rules
and regulations established by the board; or (3) Being convicted of a crime other than minor offenses defined
as "minor misdemeanors," "violations," or "offenses" in any court

have a direct bearing on whether he should be entrusted to serve
the public in the capacity of an occupational therapist or
occupational therapy assistant. (b) Such denial, refusal to renew, suspension, revocation, or
imposition of a fine or probationary conditions upon a licensee may
be ordered by the board in a decision made after a hearing in the
manner provided by the rules and regulations adopted by the board.
One year from the date of revocation of a license, application may
be made to the board for reinstatement. The board shall have the
discretion to accept or reject an application for reinstatement and
may, but shall not be required to, hold a hearing to consider such
reinstatement. |
