2005 Minnesota Statutes - 148.755 — Temporary suspension of license.

     148.755 Temporary suspension of license. 


    In addition to any other remedy provided by law, the board 
 may, without a hearing, temporarily suspend the license of a 
 physical therapist if the board finds that the physical 
 therapist has violated a statute or rule which the board is 
 empowered to enforce and continued practice by the physical 
 therapist would create a serious risk of harm to the public.  
 The suspension shall take effect upon written notice to the 
 physical therapist, specifying the statute or rule violated.  
 The suspension shall remain in effect until the board issues a 
 final order in the matter after a hearing.  At the time it 
 issues the suspension notice, the board shall schedule a 
 disciplinary hearing to be held pursuant to the Administrative 
 Procedure Act, chapter 14.  The physical therapist shall be 
 provided with at least 20 days' notice of any hearing held 
 pursuant to this section.  The hearing shall be scheduled to 
 begin no later than 30 days after the issuance of the suspension 
 order.
