(1) The board‘s president or the president’s designee may determine that immediate temporary suspension of a license or privilege against which disciplinary action or an investigation is pending is necessary in order to stop, prevent, or avoid immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare. When it appears that this action may be necessary, the executive director or the executive director’s designee shall issue an emergency order suspending the nurse‘s license or privilege. Upon appeal of an emergency order, an emergency hearing shall be conducted in accordance with KRS § 13B.125.
(2) No board member shall be disqualified from serving on a disciplinary action hearing panel for the reason that he has previously sat on a hearing panel considering temporary suspension of the same license or privilege.
(3) The board shall expedite disciplinary actions in which a license or privilege has been temporarily suspended.
(4) The order of immediate temporary suspension shall remain in effect until either reconsidered or superseded by final disciplinary action by the board.
