Otherwise, when such an action of another state, agency or authority is grounded on facts which would provide basis for disciplinary sanction in this State for reasons consistent with section 8 of P.L.1978, c.73 (C.45:1-21) involving gross or repeated negligence, fraud or other professional misconduct adversely affecting the public health, safety or welfare, the board may immediately suspend the physician's license, pending a determination of findings by the board.
