Denial, Withholding, Suspending, Limiting or Restricting Licensure, Certification, Permit, or Authorization or Otherwise Disciplining Holder of License, Certificate, Permit, or Authorization — Disciplinary Actions

   With respect to any person required to be licensed, permitted, certified or authorized by any board, council, committee, agency, or regulatory program created pursuant to Chapters 3 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 of this title and to title 68, chapter 140 attached to the division of health related boards, such board, council, committee or agency may:  Deny an application for licensure, certification, permit or authorization;   Permanently withhold issuance of licensure, certification, permit or authorization;   Suspend, limit or restrict previously issued licensure, certification, permit or authorization; or   Otherwise discipline a holder of a license, certificate, permit or authorization, if the applicant, licensee or certificate or permit holder has been disciplined by another state of the United States for any acts or omissions that would constitute grounds for discipline of a person licensed, certified, permitted or authorized in this state.     A certified copy of the initial order, final order or other equivalent document memorializing the disciplinary action from the disciplining state shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of this section and shall be sufficient grounds upon which to deny, restrict or condition the license, permit or certificate renewal or application, and/or otherwise to discipline a licensee licensed in this state.     In disciplinary actions against individuals holding a license, certificate, permit or authorization in this state at the time of a disciplinary action in another reporting state, in the absence of justifying evidence to the contrary, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the sanction proposed in any such proceeding will be comparable to that in the reporting state; however, no such presumption shall exist for those who are applying for licensure, certification, permit or authorization in this state during or after the time the disciplinary action in the other state is pending or has become final. If a board, council, committee, agency, or regulatory program created pursuant to Chapters 3 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 of this title or title 68, chapter 140 denies, restricts or conditions a licensure, certification, permit or authorization based on a disciplinary action in another state, the applicant shall, upon written request, filed within thirty (30) days of the date of the action on the application, be entitled to a contested case hearing.
