If any person who has been granted a license or certificate under this chapter is adjudged by a probate court to be mentally ill or mentally incompetent, the person's license or certificate shall be automatically suspended until such person has filed with the state medical board a certified copy of an adjudication by a probate court of the person's subsequent restoration to competency or has submitted to such board proof, satisfactory to the board, that the person has been discharged as having a restoration to competency in the manner and form provided in section 5122.38 of the Revised Code.
