21872187 31 certificate holder or license holder.
21882188 32 The department of homeland security may withdraw or modify
21892189 33 this probation if the department of homeland security finds after
21902190 34 a hearing that the deficiency that required disciplinary action is
21912191 35 remedied or that changed circumstances warrant a modification
21922192 36 of the order.
21932193 37 (c) If an applicant or a certificate holder or license holder has
21942194 38 engaged in or knowingly cooperated in fraud or material deception to
21952195 39 obtain a certificate or license, including cheating on the certification or

22062206 7 applicant's certificate or license to practice in another state or
22072207 8 jurisdiction, or has practiced without a certificate or license in violation
22082208 9 of the law. A certified copy of the record of disciplinary action is
22092209 10 conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's disciplinary action.
22102210 11 (e) The department of homeland security may order a certificate
22112211 12 holder or license holder to submit to a reasonable physical or mental
22122212 13 examination if the certificate holder's or license holder's physical or
22132213 14 mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
22142214 15 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department of
22152215 16 homeland security order to submit to a physical or mental examination
22162216 17 makes a certificate holder or license holder liable to temporary
22172217 18 suspension under subsection (i).
22182218 19 (f) Except as provided under subsection (a), subsection (g), and
22192219 20 section 14.5 of this chapter, a certificate or license may not be denied,
22202220 21 revoked, or suspended because the applicant, certificate holder, or
22212221 22 license holder has been convicted of an offense. The acts from which
22222222 23 the applicant's, certificate holder's, or license holder's conviction
22232223 24 resulted may be considered as to whether the applicant or certificate
22242224 25 holder or license holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
22252225 26 specific capacity.
22262226 27 (g) The department of homeland security may deny, suspend, or
22272227 28 revoke a certificate or license issued under this article if the individual
22282228 29 who holds or is applying for the certificate or license is convicted of
22292229 30 any of the following:
22302230 31 (1) Possession of cocaine or a narcotic drug under IC 35-48-4-6.

22762276 34 public's health, safety, or property if the certificate holder or license
22772277 35 holder were allowed to continue to practice.

26102610 24 with the delivery of services to the public;
26112611 25 (9) allowed the practitioner's name or a license issued under this
26122612 26 chapter to be used in connection with an individual or business
26132613 27 who renders services beyond the scope of that individual's or
26142614 28 business's training, experience, or competence;
26152615 29 (10) had disciplinary action taken against the practitioner or the
26162616 30 practitioner's license to practice in another state or jurisdiction on
26172617 31 grounds similar to those under this chapter;

26192619 33 constitute a ground for disciplinary sanction under this chapter;
26202620 34 or
26212621 35 (12) allowed a license issued by the department to be:
26222622 36 (A) used by another person; or
26232623 37 (B) displayed to the public when the license has expired, is
26242624 38 inactive, is invalid, or has been revoked or suspended.
26252625 39 For purposes of subdivision (10), a certified copy of a record of
26262626 40 disciplinary action constitutes prima facie evidence of a disciplinary
26272627 41 action in another jurisdiction.
26282628 42 (b) The department may impose one (1) or more of the following
26292629 2022 IN 414—LS 6821/DI 106 62
26302630 1 sanctions if the department finds that a practitioner is subject to
26312631 2 disciplinary sanctions under subsection (a):
26322632 3 (1) Permanent revocation of a practitioner's license.
26332633 4 (2) Suspension of a practitioner's license.

26392639 10 dollars ($1,000) for each violation listed in subsection (a),
26402640 11 except for a finding of incompetency due to a physical or
26412641 12 mental disability.
26422642 13 (B) When imposing a civil penalty, the department shall
26432643 14 consider a practitioner's ability to pay the amount assessed. If
26442644 15 the practitioner fails to pay the civil penalty within the time
26452645 16 specified by the department, the department may suspend the
26462646 17 practitioner's license without additional proceedings. However,
26472647 18 a suspension may not be imposed if the sole basis for the
26482648 19 suspension is the practitioner's inability to pay a civil penalty.
26492649 20 (6) Placement of a practitioner on probation status and
26502650 21 requirement of the practitioner to:
26512651 22 (A) report regularly to the department upon the matters that
26522652 23 are the basis of probation;
26532653 24 (B) limit practice to those areas prescribed by the department;
26542654 25 (C) continue or renew professional education approved by the
26552655 26 department until a satisfactory degree of skill has been attained
26562656 27 in those areas that are the basis of the probation; or
26572657 28 (D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including
26582658 29 community restitution or service without compensation, that
26592659 30 the department considers appropriate to the public interest or
26602660 31 to the rehabilitation or treatment of the practitioner.
26612661 32 The department may withdraw or modify this probation if the
26622662 33 department finds after a hearing that the deficiency that required
26632663 34 disciplinary action has been remedied or that changed
26642664 35 circumstances warrant a modification of the order.
26652665 36 (c) If an applicant or a practitioner has engaged in or knowingly
26662666 37 cooperated in fraud or material deception to obtain a license to
26672667 38 practice, including cheating on the licensing examination, the
26682668 39 department may rescind the license if it has been granted, void the
26692669 40 examination or other fraudulent or deceptive material, and prohibit the
26702670 41 applicant from reapplying for the license for a length of time
26712671 42 established by the department.

26732673 1 (d) The department may deny licensure to an applicant who has had
26742674 2 disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the applicant's license
26752675 3 to practice in another state or jurisdiction or who has practiced without
26762676 4 a license in violation of the law. A certified copy of the record of
26772677 5 disciplinary action is conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's
26782678 6 disciplinary action.
26792679 7 (e) The department may order a practitioner to submit to a
26802680 8 reasonable physical or mental examination if the practitioner's physical
26812681 9 or mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
26822682 10 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department order to
26832683 11 submit to a physical or mental examination makes a practitioner liable
26842684 12 to temporary suspension under subsection (j).
26852685 13 (f) Except as provided under subsection (g) or (h), a license may not
26862686 14 be denied, revoked, or suspended because the applicant or holder has
26872687 15 been convicted of an offense. The acts from which the applicant's or
26882688 16 holder's conviction resulted may, however, be considered as to whether
26892689 17 the applicant or holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
26902690 18 specific capacity.
26912691 19 (g) The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license issued
26922692 20 under this chapter if the individual who holds the license is convicted
26932693 21 of any of the following:

27102710 38 (8) Possession of marijuana, hash oil, hashish, or salvia as a Class
27112711 39 D felony (for a crime committed before July 1, 2014) or a Level

38063806 9 (e) An order of restitution under subsection (a), (i), (j), or (l) or (m)
38073807 10 does not bar a civil action for:
38083808 11 (1) damages that the court did not require the person to pay to the
38093809 12 victim under the restitution order but arise from an injury or
38103810 13 property damage that is the basis of restitution ordered by the
38113811 14 court; and
38123812 15 (2) other damages suffered by the victim.
38133813 16 (f) Regardless of whether restitution is required under subsection (a)

38163816 19 sentence imposed for a felony or misdemeanor.
38173817 20 (g) A restitution order under subsection (a), (i), (j), or (l) or (m) is
38183818 21 not discharged by the liquidation of a person's estate by a receiver

38203820 23 IC 34-1-12, or IC 34-2-7 before their repeal).
38213821 24 (h) The attorney general may pursue restitution ordered by the court
38223822 25 under subsections (a) and (c) on behalf of the victim services division
38233823 26 of the Indiana criminal justice institute established under IC 5-2-6-8.
38243824 27 (i) The court may order the person convicted of an offense under
38253825 28 IC 35-43-9 to make restitution to the victim of the crime. The court
38263826 29 shall base its restitution order upon a consideration of the amount of
38273827 30 money that the convicted person converted, misappropriated, or
38283828 31 received, or for which the convicted person conspired. The restitution
38293829 32 order issued for a violation of IC 35-43-9 must comply with
38303830 33 subsections (b), (d), (e), and (g), and is not discharged by the

38353835 38 victim's estate, or the family of a victim who is deceased. The court
38363836 39 shall base its restitution order upon a consideration of the amount of
38373837 40 fraud or harm caused by the convicted person and any reasonable
38383838 41 expenses (including lost wages) incurred by the victim in correcting the
38393839 42 victim's credit report and addressing any other issues caused by the
38403840 2022 IN 414—LS 6821/DI 106 90
38413841 1 commission of the offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5. If, after a person is
38423842 2 sentenced for an offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5, a victim, a victim's
38433843 3 estate, or the family of a victim discovers or incurs additional expenses
38443844 4 that result from the convicted person's commission of the offense under
38453845 5 IC 35-43-5-3.5, the court may issue one (1) or more restitution orders
38463846 6 to require the convicted person to make restitution, even if the court
38473847 7 issued a restitution order at the time of sentencing. For purposes of
38483848 8 entering a restitution order after sentencing, a court has continuing
38493849 9 jurisdiction over a person convicted of an offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5
38503850 10 for five (5) years after the date of sentencing. Each restitution order
38513851 11 issued for a violation of IC 35-43-5-3.5 must comply with subsections
38523852 12 (b), (d), (e), and (g), and is not discharged by the completion of any
38533853 13 probationary period or other sentence imposed for an offense under
38543854 14 IC 35-43-5-3.5.
38553855 15 (k) The court shall order a person convicted of an offense under
38563856 16 IC 35-42-3.5 to make restitution to the victim of the crime in an amount
38573857 17 equal to the greater of the following:
38583858 18 (1) The gross income or value to the person of the victim's labor
38593859 19 or services.
38603860 20 (2) The value of the victim's labor as guaranteed under the
38613861 21 minimum wage and overtime provisions of:
38623862 22 (A) the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended
38633863 23 (29 U.S.C. 201-209); or
38643864 24 (B) IC 22-2-2 (Minimum Wage);
38653865 25 whichever is greater.
38663866 26 (l) The court shall order a person who:
38673867 27 (1) is convicted of dealing in methamphetamine under
38683868 28 IC 35-48-4-1.1 or manufacturing methamphetamine under
38693869 29 IC 35-48-4-1.2; and

38713871 31 another person, without the consent of the property owner;
38723872 32 to pay liquidated damages to the property owner in the amount of ten
38733873 33 thousand dollars ($10,000) or to pay actual damages to the property
38743874 34 owner, including lost rent and the costs of decontamination by a
38753875 35 qualified inspector certified under IC 16-19-3.1.
38763876 36 (m) The court shall order a person who:
38773877 37 (1) is convicted of dealing in marijuana under
38783878 38 IC 35-48-4-10(a)(1)(A); and
38793879 39 (2) manufactured the marijuana on property owned by another
38803880 40 person, without the consent of the property owner;
38813881 41 to pay liquidated damages to the property owner in the amount of two
38823882 42 thousand dollars ($2,000).
