      "33-21-147.  Disciplining licensees; procedure.

A proceeding for discipline of a licensee or a temporary permit holder, or action against an applicant for a license or temporary permit, may be commenced when the board has reasonable grounds to believe that a person under the board's jurisdiction has committed acts in violation of W.S. 33‑21‑146. No license to practice nursing may be revoked or denied by the board without affording the licensee or applicant due process of law. However, the board may summarily suspend a license and institute proceedings concomitantly if the board finds that the licensee presents a clear and immediate danger to the public health, safety and welfare if allowed to continue to practice. For purposes of a suspension or other restriction imposed pursuant to W.S. 33‑21‑146(b), the board may presume that the court imposing the suspension or restriction afforded the licensee or applicant due process of law.  The board may assess against a licensee or certificate holder the partial or full cost, not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00), of a disciplinary hearing, a disciplinary investigation or any other proceeding before the board involving the licensee or certificate holder, if the board suspends or revokes the licensee's license or temporary permit.".  HARVEY, CHAIRMAN
