(B) displayed to the public when the license has expired, is
inactive, is invalid, or has been revoked or suspended.
For purposes of subdivision (10), a certified copy of a record of
disciplinary action constitutes prima facie evidence of a disciplinary
action in another jurisdiction.
(b) The department may impose one (1) or more of the following
sanctions if the department finds that a practitioner is subject to
disciplinary sanctions under subsection (a):
(1) Permanent revocation of a practitioner's license.

dollars ($1,000) for each violation listed in subsection (a),
except for a finding of incompetency due to a physical or

(B) When imposing a civil penalty, the department shall
consider a practitioner's ability to pay the amount assessed. If
the practitioner fails to pay the civil penalty within the time
specified by the department, the department may suspend the
practitioner's license without additional proceedings. However,
a suspension may not be imposed if the sole basis for the
suspension is the practitioner's inability to pay a civil penalty.
(6) Place a practitioner on probation status and require the
practitioner to:
(A) report regularly to the department upon the matters that
are the basis of probation;

department until a satisfactory degree of skill has been attained
in those areas that are the basis of the probation; or
(D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including community restitution or service without compensation, that the department considers appropriate to the public interest or to the rehabilitation or treatment of the practitioner.
The department may withdraw or modify this probation if the department finds after a hearing that the deficiency that required disciplinary action has been remedied or that changed circumstances warrant a modification of the order.
(c) If an applicant or a practitioner has engaged in or knowingly cooperated in fraud or material deception to obtain a license to practice, including cheating on the licensing examination, the department may rescind the license if it has been granted, void the examination or other fraudulent or deceptive material, and prohibit the applicant from reapplying for the license for a length of time established by the department.
(d) The department may deny licensure to an applicant who has had disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the applicant's license to practice in another state or jurisdiction or who has practiced without a license in violation of the law. A certified copy of the record of disciplinary action is conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's disciplinary action.
(e) The department may order a practitioner to submit to a reasonable physical or mental examination if the practitioner's physical or mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department order to submit to a physical or mental examination makes a practitioner liable to temporary suspension under subsection (j).
(f) Except as provided under subsection (g) or (h), a license may not be denied, revoked, or suspended because the applicant or holder has been convicted of an offense. The acts from which the applicant's or holder's conviction resulted may, however, be considered as to whether the applicant or holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a specific capacity.
