21862186 30 certificate holder or license holder.
21872187 31 The department of homeland security may withdraw or modify
21882188 32 this probation if the department of homeland security finds after
21892189 33 a hearing that the deficiency that required disciplinary action is
21902190 34 remedied or that changed circumstances warrant a modification
21912191 35 of the order.
21922192 36 (c) If an applicant or a certificate holder or license holder has
21932193 37 engaged in or knowingly cooperated in fraud or material deception to
21942194 38 obtain a certificate or license, including cheating on the certification or

22042204 5 holder, has had disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the
22052205 6 applicant's certificate or license to practice in another state or
22062206 7 jurisdiction, or has practiced without a certificate or license in violation
22072207 8 of the law. A certified copy of the record of disciplinary action is
22082208 9 conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's disciplinary action.
22092209 10 (e) The department of homeland security may order a certificate
22102210 11 holder or license holder to submit to a reasonable physical or mental
22112211 12 examination if the certificate holder's or license holder's physical or
22122212 13 mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
22132213 14 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department of
22142214 15 homeland security order to submit to a physical or mental examination
22152215 16 makes a certificate holder or license holder liable to temporary
22162216 17 suspension under subsection (i).
22172217 18 (f) Except as provided under subsection (a), subsection (g), and
22182218 19 section 14.5 of this chapter, a certificate or license may not be denied,
22192219 20 revoked, or suspended because the applicant, certificate holder, or
22202220 21 license holder has been convicted of an offense. The acts from which
22212221 22 the applicant's, certificate holder's, or license holder's conviction
22222222 23 resulted may be considered as to whether the applicant or certificate
22232223 24 holder or license holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
22242224 25 specific capacity.
22252225 26 (g) The department of homeland security may deny, suspend, or
22262226 27 revoke a certificate or license issued under this article if the individual
22272227 28 who holds or is applying for the certificate or license is convicted of
22282228 29 any of the following:
22292229 30 (1) Possession of cocaine or a narcotic drug under IC 35-48-4-6.

26032603 17 practice;
26042604 18 (C) physical or mental disability; or
26052605 19 (D) addiction to, abuse of, or severe dependency on alcohol or
26062606 20 other drugs that endanger the public by impairing a
26072607 21 practitioner's ability to practice safely;
26082608 22 (8) engaged in a course of lewd or immoral conduct in connection
26092609 23 with the delivery of services to the public;
26102610 24 (9) allowed the practitioner's name or a license issued under this
26112611 25 chapter to be used in connection with an individual or business
26122612 26 who renders services beyond the scope of that individual's or
26132613 27 business's training, experience, or competence;
26142614 28 (10) had disciplinary action taken against the practitioner or the
26152615 29 practitioner's license to practice in another state or jurisdiction on
26162616 30 grounds similar to those under this chapter;

26182618 32 constitute a ground for disciplinary sanction under this chapter;
26192619 33 or
26202620 34 (12) allowed a license issued by the department to be:
26212621 35 (A) used by another person; or
26222622 36 (B) displayed to the public when the license has expired, is
26232623 37 inactive, is invalid, or has been revoked or suspended.
26242624 38 For purposes of subdivision (10), a certified copy of a record of
26252625 39 disciplinary action constitutes prima facie evidence of a disciplinary
26262626 40 action in another jurisdiction.
26272627 41 (b) The department may impose one (1) or more of the following
26282628 42 sanctions if the department finds that a practitioner is subject to
26292629 2022 IN 1311—LS 7063/DI 106 62
26302630 1 disciplinary sanctions under subsection (a):
26312631 2 (1) Permanent revocation of a practitioner's license.

26372637 8 (A) The civil penalty may not be more than one thousand
26382638 9 dollars ($1,000) for each violation listed in subsection (a),
26392639 10 except for a finding of incompetency due to a physical or
26402640 11 mental disability.
26412641 12 (B) When imposing a civil penalty, the department shall
26422642 13 consider a practitioner's ability to pay the amount assessed. If
26432643 14 the practitioner fails to pay the civil penalty within the time
26442644 15 specified by the department, the department may suspend the
26452645 16 practitioner's license without additional proceedings. However,
26462646 17 a suspension may not be imposed if the sole basis for the
26472647 18 suspension is the practitioner's inability to pay a civil penalty.
26482648 19 (6) Placement of a practitioner on probation status and
26492649 20 requirement of the practitioner to:
26502650 21 (A) report regularly to the department upon the matters that
26512651 22 are the basis of probation;
26522652 23 (B) limit practice to those areas prescribed by the department;
26532653 24 (C) continue or renew professional education approved by the
26542654 25 department until a satisfactory degree of skill has been attained
26552655 26 in those areas that are the basis of the probation; or
26562656 27 (D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including
26572657 28 community restitution or service without compensation, that
26582658 29 the department considers appropriate to the public interest or
26592659 30 to the rehabilitation or treatment of the practitioner.
26602660 31 The department may withdraw or modify this probation if the
26612661 32 department finds after a hearing that the deficiency that required
26622662 33 disciplinary action has been remedied or that changed
26632663 34 circumstances warrant a modification of the order.
26642664 35 (c) If an applicant or a practitioner has engaged in or knowingly
26652665 36 cooperated in fraud or material deception to obtain a license to
26662666 37 practice, including cheating on the licensing examination, the
26672667 38 department may rescind the license if it has been granted, void the
26682668 39 examination or other fraudulent or deceptive material, and prohibit the
26692669 40 applicant from reapplying for the license for a length of time
26702670 41 established by the department.
26712671 42 (d) The department may deny licensure to an applicant who has had
26722672 2022 IN 1311—LS 7063/DI 106 63
26732673 1 disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the applicant's license
26742674 2 to practice in another state or jurisdiction or who has practiced without
26752675 3 a license in violation of the law. A certified copy of the record of
26762676 4 disciplinary action is conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's
26772677 5 disciplinary action.
26782678 6 (e) The department may order a practitioner to submit to a
26792679 7 reasonable physical or mental examination if the practitioner's physical
26802680 8 or mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
26812681 9 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department order to
26822682 10 submit to a physical or mental examination makes a practitioner liable
26832683 11 to temporary suspension under subsection (j).
26842684 12 (f) Except as provided under subsection (g) or (h), a license may not
26852685 13 be denied, revoked, or suspended because the applicant or holder has
26862686 14 been convicted of an offense. The acts from which the applicant's or
26872687 15 holder's conviction resulted may, however, be considered as to whether
26882688 16 the applicant or holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
26892689 17 specific capacity.
26902690 18 (g) The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license issued
26912691 19 under this chapter if the individual who holds the license is convicted
26922692 20 of any of the following:

27092709 37 (8) Possession of marijuana, hash oil, hashish, or salvia as a Class
27102710 38 D felony (for a crime committed before July 1, 2014) or a Level

38063806 9 does not bar a civil action for:
38073807 10 (1) damages that the court did not require the person to pay to the
38083808 11 victim under the restitution order but arise from an injury or

38103810 13 court; and
38113811 14 (2) other damages suffered by the victim.
38123812 15 (f) Regardless of whether restitution is required under subsection (a)

38193819 22 IC 34-1-12, or IC 34-2-7 before their repeal).
38203820 23 (h) The attorney general may pursue restitution ordered by the court
38213821 24 under subsections (a) and (c) on behalf of the victim services division
38223822 25 of the Indiana criminal justice institute established under IC 5-2-6-8.
38233823 26 (i) The court may order the person convicted of an offense under
38243824 27 IC 35-43-9 to make restitution to the victim of the crime. The court
38253825 28 shall base its restitution order upon a consideration of the amount of
38263826 29 money that the convicted person converted, misappropriated, or
38273827 30 received, or for which the convicted person conspired. The restitution
38283828 31 order issued for a violation of IC 35-43-9 must comply with
38293829 32 subsections (b), (d), (e), and (g), and is not discharged by the

38343834 37 victim's estate, or the family of a victim who is deceased. The court
38353835 38 shall base its restitution order upon a consideration of the amount of
38363836 39 fraud or harm caused by the convicted person and any reasonable
38373837 40 expenses (including lost wages) incurred by the victim in correcting the
38383838 41 victim's credit report and addressing any other issues caused by the
38393839 42 commission of the offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5. If, after a person is
38403840 2022 IN 1311—LS 7063/DI 106 90
38413841 1 sentenced for an offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5, a victim, a victim's
38423842 2 estate, or the family of a victim discovers or incurs additional expenses
38433843 3 that result from the convicted person's commission of the offense under
38443844 4 IC 35-43-5-3.5, the court may issue one (1) or more restitution orders
38453845 5 to require the convicted person to make restitution, even if the court
38463846 6 issued a restitution order at the time of sentencing. For purposes of
38473847 7 entering a restitution order after sentencing, a court has continuing
38483848 8 jurisdiction over a person convicted of an offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5
38493849 9 for five (5) years after the date of sentencing. Each restitution order

38513851 11 (b), (d), (e), and (g), and is not discharged by the completion of any
38523852 12 probationary period or other sentence imposed for an offense under
38533853 13 IC 35-43-5-3.5.

38553855 15 IC 35-42-3.5 to make restitution to the victim of the crime in an amount
38563856 16 equal to the greater of the following:
38573857 17 (1) The gross income or value to the person of the victim's labor
38583858 18 or services.
38593859 19 (2) The value of the victim's labor as guaranteed under the
38603860 20 minimum wage and overtime provisions of:
38613861 21 (A) the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended

38633863 23 (B) IC 22-2-2 (Minimum Wage);
38643864 24 whichever is greater.
38653865 25 (l) The court shall order a person who:
38663866 26 (1) is convicted of dealing in methamphetamine under
38673867 27 IC 35-48-4-1.1 or manufacturing methamphetamine under
38683868 28 IC 35-48-4-1.2; and

38703870 30 another person, without the consent of the property owner;
38713871 31 to pay liquidated damages to the property owner in the amount of ten
38723872 32 thousand dollars ($10,000) or to pay actual damages to the property
38733873 33 owner, including lost rent and the costs of decontamination by a
38743874 34 qualified inspector certified under IC 16-19-3.1.

38763876 36 (1) is convicted of dealing in marijuana under
38773877 37 IC 35-48-4-10(a)(1)(A); and

38793879 39 person, without the consent of the property owner;
38803880 40 to pay liquidated damages to the property owner in the amount of two
38813881 41 thousand dollars ($2,000).
