§ 604.202. EMERGENCY SUSPENSION.
Official statutory text
(a) The presiding officer of the advisory board shall appoint a three-member disciplinary panel consisting of advisory board members to determine whether a certificate or permit should be temporarily suspended.
(a-1) The disciplinary panel shall temporarily suspend a certificate or temporary permit issued under this chapter on a determination that continued practice by a certificate or temporary permit holder would constitute a continuing threat to the public welfare.
(b) A certificate or temporary permit may be suspended under this section without notice or hearing on the complaint if:
(1) action is taken to initiate proceedings for a hearing before the advisory board simultaneously with the temporary suspension; and
(2) a hearing is held as soon as practicable under this chapter and Chapter 2001, Government Code.
(c) Notwithstanding Chapter 551, Government Code, the disciplinary panel may hold a meeting by telephone conference call if immediate action is required and convening of the panel at one location is inconvenient for any member of the panel.
