33-33-305. Suspension and revocation of license.

(a) The board may refuse to issue or renew a license, or may suspend or revoke a license where the licensee or applicant for license has been guilty of unprofessional conduct which has endangered or is likely to endanger the health, welfare or safety of the public. Such unprofessional conduct may result from:

(i) Obtaining a license by means of fraud, misrepresentation or concealment of material facts;

(ii) Being guilty of unprofessional conduct as defined by the rules established by the board, or violating the code of ethics adopted and published by the board;

(iii) Being convicted of a felony in any court of the United States, if the acts for which he is convicted are found by the board to have a direct bearing on whether he should be entrusted to serve the public in that particular capacity; or

(iv) Violating any provisions of this act.

(b) The board may, after hearing, deny an application, or suspend, or revoke a license, or impose probationary conditions upon a licensee. One (1) year from the date of revocation of a license, application may be made to the board for reinstatement. The board may accept or reject an application for reinstatement and may require an examination for such reinstatement.

(c) A plea or verdict of guilty, or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere, made to a charge of a felony or of any offense involving moral turpitude, is a conviction within the meaning of this section. At the direction of the board and after due notice and administrative hearing in accordance with the provisions of the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act, the license of the person so convicted shall be suspended or revoked or the board shall decline to issue a license when:

(i) The time for appeal has elapsed;

(ii) The judgment of conviction has been affirmed on appeal.

(d) Upon receipt from the department of family services of a certified copy of an order from a court to withhold, suspend or otherwise restrict a license issued by the board, the board shall notify the party named in the court order of the withholding, suspension or restriction of the license in accordance with the terms of the court order. No appeal under the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act shall be allowed for a license withheld, suspended or restricted under this subsection.
