Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Whenever the Board finds a chiropractic physician guilty of a
				  violation in an individual proceeding, the Board may consider the following
				  factors in its determination of a penalty to be imposed against said
				  chiropractic physician:
(1)
Consequences to the public.
If potential or actual damage to the
				health, safety or welfare of the general public is more likely than not to
				occur as a result of acts or omissions by the licensee, the Board may impose a
				more severe punishment than if such damage is less likely to occur.
(2)
Consequences to the patient.
If potential or actual damage to the health, safety, or welfare of the patient
				on whose behalf the complaint is brought is more likely than not to occur as a
				result of acts or omissions by the licensee, the Board may impose a more severe
				punishment than if such damage is less likely to occur.
(3)
Intent.
If it is evident
				from the facts presented that the violation committed by the licensee was
				intentional, the Board may impose a more severe punishment than if it is not so
				evident; provided that such violation may be deemed by the Board to be
				intentional on the part of the licensee if the violation:
(A) occurred as the result of negligence on
				the part of the licensee; or
(B)
				was part of a pattern of extreme or ongoing carelessness as to be without
				regard for the health, safety or welfare of the general public or a patient;
				or
(C) violated the principles of
				the Chiropractic Code of Ethics.

				  order, summary suspension of an original license or renewal, or both, may be
				  ordered by the Board pending initiation of an individual proceeding. In such an
				  event, the individual proceeding against the affected licensee shall be
