  If the director has reasonable cause to believe that a licensee is unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety, the director may require the licensee to take a mental or physical examination by a health-care provider designated by the director. If the licensee refuses to undergo a mental or physical examination, unless due to circumstances beyond the licensee's control, the director may suspend the licensee's license until the results of the examination are known and the director has made a determination of the licensee's fitness to practice. The director shall proceed with an order for examination and determination in a timely manner.    The director shall include in an order issued to a licensee under subsection (1) of this section the basis of the director's reasonable cause to believe that the licensee is unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety. For the purposes of a disciplinary proceeding authorized by this article 210, the licensee is deemed to have waived all objections to the admissibility of the examining health-care provider's testimony or examination reports on the ground that they are privileged communications.    The licensee may submit to the director testimony or examination reports from a health-care provider chosen by the licensee pertaining to the condition that the director alleges may preclude the licensee from practicing with reasonable skill and safety. The director may consider testimony and reports submitted by the licensee in conjunction with, but not in lieu of, testimony and examination reports of the health-care provider designated by the director.    A person shall not use the results of any mental or physical examination ordered by the director as evidence in any proceeding other than one before the director. The examination results are not public records and are not available to the public.     History.

  It is hereby declared to be the policy of the general assembly of the state of Colorado that, in order to safeguard the life, health, and property and the public welfare of the people of this state and in order to protect the people of this state against unauthorized, unqualified, and improper practice of chiropractic, it is necessary that a proper regulatory authority be established and adequately provided for.    It is unlawful for any person to practice or to offer to practice chiropractic in the state of Colorado, or to use in connection with his or her name or business or otherwise to assume, use, or advertise any title or description that will or that reasonably might be expected to mislead the public into believing he or she is a doctor of chiropractic, unless the person has been duly licensed under the provisions of this article 215. Anyone who holds himself or herself out to the public as a doctor of chiropractic without qualifying for proper licensing under this article 215 and without submitting to the regulations provided in this article 215 endangers the public life, health, property, and welfare.

The following annotations include cases decided under former provisions similar to this section.   Doctors of medicine, doctors of osteopathy, chiropodists, dentists, and doctors of chiropractic all practice their professions by grace of the state. Colo. Chiropractic Ass'n v. State, 171 Colo. 395 , 467 P.2d 795 (1970).   The scope of their practices is limited by law. Colo. Chiropractic Ass'n v. State, 171 Colo. 395 , 467 P.2d 795 (1970).   The courses of study of the several limited branches of the healing arts are not determinative of the scope of practice permitted under any given license. Colo. Chiropractic Ass'n v. State, 171 Colo. 395 , 467 P.2d 795 (1970).   The word “physician” does not appear in the chiropractic licensing act. Colo. Chiropractic Ass'n v. State, 171 Colo. 395 , 467 P.2d 795 (1970).   Where a party was charged with violating this section and the statute relating to the practice of medicine without a license, it was held that a verdict of guilty on either charge was equivalent to a verdict of not guilty on the other, the two charges being wholly different.

The board shall meet at such times and at such places as the board deems necessary, but in no case less than annually. A majority of the board shall constitute a quorum.

  The board is authorized to and shall:   Adopt and from time to time revise rules pursuant to section 12-20-204;    Examine, license, and renew licenses of duly qualified chiropractic applicants;    Approve or refuse to approve chiropractic schools and colleges;    Conduct hearings in accordance with section 12-20-403 upon complaints concerning the disciplining of chiropractors;    Cause the prosecution of and seek injunctions in accordance with section 12-20-406 against all persons violating this article 215;    Employ investigators;    Identify and proscribe, by rule, chiropractic practices that are untrue, deceptive, or misleading.       The board shall not adopt the code of ethics of any professional group or association by rule.

ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. The following annotations include cases decided under former provisions similar to this section.   State board of chiropractic examiners is an “agency” of the state and may not be sued in a section 1983 civil rights action. States, state officials, and governmental entities that are considered arms of the state are not “persons” within the meaning of section 1983. Stjernholm v. Colo. State Bd. of Chiropractic Exam'rs, 820 P.2d 1166 (Colo. App. 1991).   The board performs both quasi-legislative and quasi-adjudicatory functions. Rule-making is a quasi-legislative function, and professional discipline and license suspension are quasi-judicial in nature. Bd. of Chiropractic Exam'rs v. Stjernholm, 935 P.2d 959 (Colo. 1997).   As public officials engaging in quasi-judicial actions, the state board, board members, and board attorneys enjoy absolute immunity from suit for damages, state or federal. Bd. of Chiropractic Exam'rs v. Stjernholm, 935 P.2d 959 (Colo. 1997).   However, official immunity from damages does not equate to immunity from injunctive relief under § 1983.
