(a) A board, as described in Section 315, may adopt regulations authorizing the board to order a licensee on probation or in a diversion program to cease practice for major violations and when the board orders a licensee to undergo a clinical diagnostic evaluation pursuant to the uniform and specific standards adopted and authorized under Section 315.
(b) An order to cease practice under this section shall not be governed by the provisions of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
(c) A cease practice order under this section shall not constitute disciplinary action.
(d) This section shall have no effect on the Board of Registered Nursing pursuant to Article 3.1 (commencing with Section 2770) of Chapter 6 of Division 2.
Notes
Allows a board covered by the substance-abuse standards to adopt regulations authorizing cease-practice orders for probationers or diversion participants after major violations or when a clinical diagnostic evaluation is ordered under uniform standards. Exempts such orders from specified administrative-hearing procedures, states they are not disciplinary action, and leaves the Board of Registered Nursing unaffected under the referenced law.
