At such time as the final trial proceedings are concluded whereby a licensee or registrant, or any person who has failed to renew or has surrendered his or her certificate of registration or authority, permit, or license, has been adjudicated and found guilty, or has entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, in a felony prosecution pursuant to the laws of the state of Missouri, the laws of any other state, territory, or the laws of the United States of America for any offense reasonably related to the qualifications, functions or duties of a licensee, permittee, or registrant pursuant to this chapter or any felony offense, an essential element of which is fraud, dishonesty or an act of violence, or for any felony offense involving moral turpitude, whether or not sentence is imposed, the board of pharmacy may hold a disciplinary hearing to singly or in combination censure or place the licensee, permittee, or registrant named in the complaint on probation on such terms and conditions as the board deems appropriate for a period not to exceed five years, or may suspend, for a period not to exceed three years, or revoke the license, certificate, registration or permit.
