A. The Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners may refuse to renew a license, may suspend or revoke a license, or may impose probationary conditions in the event the licensee or applicant for license has been found guilty of unprofessional conduct which endangers or is likely to endanger the health, welfare, or safety of the public. Such unprofessional conduct shall include:
(1) Obtaining a license by means of fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts.
(2) Unprofessional conduct, as defined by the policies established by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, or violating the code of ethics adopted and published by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists and approved by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners.
(3) Being convicted of or pleading nolo contendere to a crime other than a misdemeanor in any court in the event the acts for which he was convicted or pled nolo contendere are found by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to have a direct bearing on whether he should be entrusted to serve the public in the capacity of a polysomnographic technologist.
B. Denial, refusal to renew, suspension, or revocation of a license, or the imposition of probationary conditions upon a licensee may be ordered by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners in a decision made after a hearing in the manner provided by the policies which shall be adopted by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners.
