493493 9 homeland security, the department of homeland security may
494494 10 suspend the certificate holder's certificate or license holder's
495495 11 license without additional proceedings.
496496 12 (6) Placement of a certificate holder or license holder on

507507 23 (D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including
508508 24 community restitution or service without compensation, that
509509 25 the department of homeland security considers appropriate to

511511 27 certificate holder or license holder.
512512 28 The department of homeland security may withdraw or modify
513513 29 this probation if the department of homeland security finds after
514514 30 a hearing that the deficiency that required disciplinary action is
515515 31 remedied or that changed circumstances warrant a modification
516516 32 of the order.
517517 33 (c) If an applicant or a certificate holder or license holder has
518518 34 engaged in or knowingly cooperated in fraud or material deception to

527527 2025 IN 1654—LS 6889/DI 106 13
528528 1 under subsection (b) if that person were a certificate holder or license
529529 2 holder, has had disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the
530530 3 applicant's certificate or license to practice in another state or
531531 4 jurisdiction, or has practiced without a certificate or license in violation
532532 5 of the law. A certified copy of the record of disciplinary action is
533533 6 conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's disciplinary action.
534534 7 (e) The department of homeland security may order a certificate
535535 8 holder or license holder to submit to a reasonable physical or mental
536536 9 examination if the certificate holder's or license holder's physical or
537537 10 mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
538538 11 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department of
539539 12 homeland security order to submit to a physical or mental examination
540540 13 makes a certificate holder or license holder liable to temporary
541541 14 suspension under subsection (i).
542542 15 (f) Except as provided under subsection (a), subsection (g), and
543543 16 section 14.5 of this chapter, a certificate or license may not be denied,
544544 17 revoked, or suspended because the applicant, certificate holder, or
545545 18 license holder has been convicted of an offense. The acts from which
546546 19 the applicant's, certificate holder's, or license holder's conviction
547547 20 resulted may be considered as to whether the applicant or certificate
548548 21 holder or license holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
549549 22 specific capacity.
550550 23 (g) The department of homeland security may deny, suspend, or
551551 24 revoke a certificate or license issued under this article if the individual
552552 25 who holds or is applying for the certificate or license is convicted of
553553 26 any of the following:
554554 27 (1) Possession of cocaine or a narcotic drug under IC 35-48-4-6.

978978 21 (B) When imposing a civil penalty, the department shall
979979 22 consider a practitioner's ability to pay the amount assessed. If
980980 23 the practitioner fails to pay the civil penalty within the time
981981 24 specified by the department, the department may suspend the
982982 25 practitioner's license without additional proceedings. However,
983983 26 a suspension may not be imposed if the sole basis for the
984984 27 suspension is the practitioner's inability to pay a civil penalty.
985985 28 (6) Placement of a practitioner on probation status and
986986 29 requirement of the practitioner to:
987987 30 (A) report regularly to the department upon the matters that
988988 31 are the basis of probation;
989989 32 (B) limit practice to those areas prescribed by the department;
990990 33 (C) continue or renew professional education approved by the
991991 34 department until a satisfactory degree of skill has been attained
992992 35 in those areas that are the basis of the probation; or
993993 36 (D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including
994994 37 community restitution or service without compensation, that
995995 38 the department considers appropriate to the public interest or
996996 39 to the rehabilitation or treatment of the practitioner.
997997 40 The department may withdraw or modify this probation if the
998998 41 department finds after a hearing that the deficiency that required
999999 42 disciplinary action has been remedied or that changed
10001000 2025 IN 1654—LS 6889/DI 106 24
10011001 1 circumstances warrant a modification of the order.
10021002 2 (c) If an applicant or a practitioner has engaged in or knowingly
10031003 3 cooperated in fraud or material deception to obtain a license to
10041004 4 practice, including cheating on the licensing examination, the
10051005 5 department may rescind the license if it has been granted, void the
10061006 6 examination or other fraudulent or deceptive material, and prohibit the
10071007 7 applicant from reapplying for the license for a length of time
10081008 8 established by the department.
10091009 9 (d) The department may deny licensure to an applicant who has had
10101010 10 disciplinary action taken against the applicant or the applicant's license
10111011 11 to practice in another state or jurisdiction or who has practiced without
10121012 12 a license in violation of the law. A certified copy of the record of
10131013 13 disciplinary action is conclusive evidence of the other jurisdiction's
10141014 14 disciplinary action.
10151015 15 (e) The department may order a practitioner to submit to a
10161016 16 reasonable physical or mental examination if the practitioner's physical
10171017 17 or mental capacity to practice safely and competently is at issue in a
10181018 18 disciplinary proceeding. Failure to comply with a department order to
10191019 19 submit to a physical or mental examination makes a practitioner liable
10201020 20 to temporary suspension under subsection (j).
10211021 21 (f) Except as provided under subsection (g) or (h), a license may not
10221022 22 be denied, revoked, or suspended because the applicant or holder has
10231023 23 been convicted of an offense. The acts from which the applicant's or
10241024 24 holder's conviction resulted may, however, be considered as to whether
10251025 25 the applicant or holder should be entrusted to serve the public in a
10261026 26 specific capacity.
10271027 27 (g) The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license issued
10281028 28 under this chapter if the individual who holds the license is convicted

29572957 15 money that the convicted person converted, misappropriated, or

29592959 17 order issued for a violation of IC 35-43-9 must comply with

29692969 27 victim's credit report and addressing any other issues caused by the
29702970 28 commission of the offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5. If, after a person is
29712971 29 sentenced for an offense under IC 35-43-5-3.5, a victim, a victim's
29722972 30 estate, or the family of a victim discovers or incurs additional expenses
