The board may deny, revoke, suspend, or cancel any license or application for licensure to practice as a behavior analyst and may take other disciplinary or corrective action as the board deems appropriate upon any of the following grounds:
(1)The licensee or applicant is guilty of fraud in the practice of applied behavior analysis or fraud or deceit in the licensee's admission to practice applied behavior analysis;
(2)The licensee or applicant has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude as defined in subdivision 22-1-2(25) during the past five years;
(3)The licensee or applicant is or has been engaged in the practice of applied behavior analysis under a false or assumed name and has not registered that name pursuant to chapter 37-11, or is impersonating another practitioner of a like or different name;
