In lieu of a disciplinary proceeding prescribed by this article, the board may permit a licensee to actively participate in a board approved substance abuse recovery program if:

1. The board has evidence that the licensee is an impaired professional.

2. The licensee has not been convicted of a felony relating to a controlled substance in any court of law.

3. The licensee enters into a written agreement with the board for a restricted license and complies with all of the terms of the agreement, including making satisfactory progress in the program and adhering to any limitation on the licensee s practice imposed by the board to protect the public. If a licensee does not enter into such an agreement the board shall immediately begin an investigation and disciplinary proceeding.

4. As part of the agreement established between the licensee and the board, the licensee signs a waiver allowing the substance abuse program to release information to the board if the licensee does not comply with the requirements of this section or is unable to practice with reasonable skill or safety.
