(1)The chair of the board, or his or her designee, in writing, may determine that
immediate temporary suspension of a license or certification of a natural person
against whom disciplinary action or an investigation is pending is necessary in order
to protect the public. If the defendant is employed by an emergency medical
services provider, the input of the employer's emergency medical services medical
director or mobile integrated healthcare program medical director may be sought
with regard to the matter. In the event of an action against an organization, the
determination that an immediate temporary suspension is necessary in order to
protect the public shall be made by the chair of the board, or his or her designee, in
writing. When this action may be necessary, the executive director, in writing, shall
issue an emergency order suspending the licensee or certificate holder. Upon appeal
of an emergency order, an emergency hearing shall be conducted in accordance with
KRS 13B.125.
(2)No board member shall be disqualified from serving on a disciplinary action
hearing panel for the reason that he or she has previously sat on a preliminary
inquiry panel hearing of the same licensee or certification holder.
(3)Disciplinary actions in which a license or certification has been temporarily
suspended and a hearing shall be held in accordance with KRS 13B.125 within
ninety
(90)days unless the defendant requests an extension of time.
(4)The order of immediate temporary suspension shall remain in effect until either
retracted or superseded by final disciplinary action by the office of the board. In
cases where disciplinary action is imposed, the office of the board may additionally
order that the temporary suspension continue in effect until the later expiration of
time permitted for appeal or termination of the appellate process.
