1.  If an investigation by the Board of an osteopathic physician or physician assistant reasonably determines that the health, safety or welfare of the public or any patient served by the osteopathic physician or physician assistant is at risk of imminent or continued harm, the Board may summarily suspend the license of the licensee pending the conclusion of a hearing to consider a formal complaint against the licensee. The order of summary suspension may be issued only by the Board or an investigative committee of the Board.

2.  If the Board or an investigative committee of the Board issues an order summarily suspending the license of a licensee pursuant to subsection 1, the Board shall hold a hearing not later than 60 days after the date on which the order is issued, unless the Board and the licensee mutually agree to a longer period, to determine whether a reasonable basis exists to continue the suspension of the license pending the conclusion of a hearing to consider a formal complaint against the licensee. If no formal complaint against the licensee is pending before the Board on the date on which a hearing is held pursuant to this section, the Board shall reinstate the license of the licensee.

3.  Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 622A of NRS, if the Board or an investigative committee of the Board issues an order summarily suspending the license of an osteopathic physician or physician assistant pursuant to subsection 1 and the Board requires the licensee to submit to a mental or physical examination or a medical competency examination, the examination must be conducted and the results must be obtained not later than 30 days after the order is issued.
