TEMPORARY SUSPENSION.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The president of the medical board, with medical board approval, shall appoint a three-member disciplinary panel consisting of medical board members to determine whether a surgical assistant's license should be temporarily suspended.
(b) If the disciplinary panel determines from the evidence or information presented to the panel that a person licensed to practice as a surgical assistant would, by the person's continuation in practice, constitute a continuing threat to the public welfare, the disciplinary panel shall temporarily suspend the license of that person.
(c) A license may be suspended under this section without notice or hearing on the complaint if:
(1) institution of proceedings for a hearing before the medical board is initiated simultaneously with the temporary suspension; and
(2) a hearing is held under Chapter 2001, Government Code, and this chapter as soon as possible.
(d) Notwithstanding Chapter 551, Government Code, the disciplinary panel may hold a meeting by telephone conference call if immediate action is required and convening the disciplinary panel at one location is inconvenient for any member of the panel.
