33-21-147. Disciplining licensees or certificate holders; procedure.
A proceeding for discipline of a licensee, certificate holder or a temporary permit holder, or action against an applicant for a license, certificate or temporary permit, may be commenced when the board has reasonable grounds to believe that a person under the board's jurisdiction has committed acts in violation of W.S. 33-21-146. No license or certificate to practice nursing or nurse assisting may be revoked or denied by the board without affording the licensee, certificate holder or applicant due process of law. However, the board may summarily suspend a license or certificate and institute proceedings concomitantly if the board finds that the licensee or certificate holder presents a clear and immediate danger to the public health, safety and welfare if allowed to continue to practice. For purposes of a suspension or other restriction imposed pursuant to W.S. 33-21-146(b), the board may presume that the court imposing the suspension or restriction afforded the licensee, certificate holder or applicant due process of law.
