				determines that the facts of the particular case warrant such a deviation -for
				example: the presence of mitigating factors; the age of the case; evidentiary
				problems.

				disciplinary guidelines, any proposed decision issued in accordance with the
				procedures set forth in Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of
				Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code that contains any finding of fact
				that the licensee engaged in any act of sexual contact, as defined in
				subdivision (c) of Section 729 of the Code, with a patient, or any finding that
				the licensee has committed a sex offense or been convicted of a sex offense as
				defined in Section
				44010 of
				the Education Code, shall contain an order revoking the license. The proposed
				decision shall not contain an order staying the revocation of the
				license.
(c) If the conduct found
				to be a violation involves drugs, alcohol, or both, and the individual is
				permitted to practice under conditions of probation, a clinical diagnostic
				evaluation shall be ordered as a condition of probation in every case, without
				deviation.
(1) Each of the "Conditions
				Applying the Uniform Standards," as set forth in the model disciplinary orders,
