A.     The board may summarily suspend or restrict a license issued by the board without a hearing, simultaneously with or at any time after the initiation of proceedings for a hearing provided under the Uniform Licensing Act [61-1-1 NMSA 1978], if the board finds that evidence in its possession indicates that the licensee: 

(1)     poses a clear and immediate danger to the public health and safety if the licensee continues to practice; 

(2)     has been adjudged mentally incompetent by a final order or adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction; or 

(3)     has pled guilty to or been found guilty of any offense related to the practice of medicine or for any violent criminal offense in this state or a substantially equivalent criminal offense in another jurisdiction. 

B.     A licensee is not required to comply with a summary action until service has been made or the licensee has actual knowledge of the order, whichever occurs first. 

C.     A person whose license is suspended or restricted under this section is entitled to a hearing by the board pursuant to the Uniform Licensing Act within fifteen days from the date the licensee requests a hearing.
