315.125 Mental or physical examination ordered by board -- Effect of failure to
submit to examination.

(3)
When the board has probable cause to believe a pharmacist, pharmacy technician,
certificate holder, or permit holder is suffering from a mental or physical condition
that might impede that person's ability to practice competently, the board may order
the individual to undergo a mental or physical examination by an appropriatelytrained professional designated by the board.
Failure of a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, or permit holder to submit to such an
examination when directed, unless the failure was due to circumstances beyond his
or her control, shall constitute an admission that he or she has developed such a
mental or physical disability, or other condition, that continued practice is
dangerous to patients or to the public. Failure to attend the examination shall
constitute a default, and a final order suspending, limiting, restricting, or revoking
the license or permit may be entered without the taking of testimony or presentation
of evidence.
A pharmacist, pharmacy technician, or permit holder whose license has been
suspended, limited, restricted, or revoked pursuant to this section shall at reasonable
intervals be afforded an opportunity, pursuant to KRS 315.121(4), to demonstrate
that he can resume the competent practice of pharmacy with reasonable skill and
safety to patients.
