The Law Enforcement Committee shall consist of three (3) members of the board,
including at least two (2) licensed dentists, appointed by the president of the board.
The Law Enforcement Committee may, by a majority vote, issue an emergency
order for the immediate temporary suspension of a license or certificate against
which disciplinary action or an investigation is pending if the order is necessary to
protect the public.
The emergency order shall be made in accordance with KRS 13B.125 and shall be
based upon a finding by the board that the emergency order is in the public interest
and there is substantial evidence of immediate danger to the health, welfare, and
safety of any patient or the general public.
A licensee may appeal the emergency order by a written request to the board for an
emergency hearing in accordance with KRS 13B.125 within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the order.
The appeal of an emergency order shall address only the necessity for the action and
shall not constitute an appeal of the merits of the underlying complaint or charge.
The emergency order shall remain in effect until modified or vacated by the Law
Enforcement Committee or hearing officer or superseded by final disciplinary
action of the Law Enforcement Committee or hearing officer on the underlying
complaint or charge.
The Law Enforcement Committee shall expedite disciplinary hearings in which a
license has been suspended under subsection (2) of this section.
Any party aggrieved by a final order of the board may appeal the final order to the
Circuit Court of the county in which the licensee or certificate holder resides after a
written decision is rendered.
