§ 5-86-18. Grounds for discipline without a hearing.
With the approval of the director, the board may temporarily suspend the license of a licensed applied behavior analyst, licensed applied behavior assistant analyst, or psychologist with equivalent experience without a hearing if the board finds that evidence in its possession indicates that a licensed applied behavior analyst, licensed applied behavior assistant analyst, or psychologist with equivalent experience continuing in practice would constitute an immediate danger to the public. In the event that the board temporarily suspends the license of a licensed applied behavior analyst, licensed applied behavior assistant analyst, or psychologist with equivalent experience without a hearing by the board, a hearing must be held within ten (10) days after the suspension has occurred.
