24 Del. C. § 3514: Grounds for refusal, revocation, or suspension of licenses and registrations [For application of this section, see 85 Del. Laws, c. 317, § 25].

(a) A licensee or registrant is subject to disciplinary actions set forth in § 3516 of this title, if, after a hearing, the Board finds that the individual has done any of the following:

(1) Employed or knowingly cooperated in fraud or material deception in order to acquire a license as a psychologist or a licensed psychology associate, or registration as a doctoral-level psychological assistant or master’s-level psychological assistant; has impersonated another individual who is licensed or registered under this chapter, or allowed another person to use the psychologist’s or licensed psychology associate’s license or doctoral-level psychological assistant’s or master’s-level psychological assistant’s registration, or aided or abetted an individual not licensed as a psychologist or a licensed psychology associate, or registered as a doctoral-level psychological assistant or master’s-level psychological assistant to represent that the individual is a psychologist, a licensed psychology associate, a doctoral-level psychological assistant, or a master’s-level psychological assistant.

(2) a. Been convicted of a crime that is substantially related to the practice of psychology. A copy of the record of conviction certified by the clerk of the court entering the conviction is conclusive evidence of the conviction. But if, after consideration of the factors set forth in § 8735(x)(3) of Title 29, through a hearing or review of documentation, the Board determines that granting a waiver to an initial applicant would not create an unreasonable risk to public safety, the Board, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the quorum, shall waive this paragraph (a)(2). The Board may not grant a waiver for a conviction of a felony sexual offense.

b.-f. [Repealed.]

(3) Excessively used or abused drugs.

(4) Engaged in an act of consumer fraud or deception; engaged in the restraint of competition; or participated in price-fixing activities.

(5) Failed to conduct the licensee’s or registrant’s professional activities in conformity with the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of the American Psychological Association (APA) (hereinafter referred to as the “Ethics Code”); and in conformity with the rules and regulations adopted by the Board to implement the Ethics Code.

(6) Violated a lawful provision of this chapter, or any lawful regulation established under this chapter.

(7) Had a license, certification, or registration as a psychologist, licensed psychology associate, doctoral-level psychological assistant, or master’s-level psychological assistant suspended or revoked, or other disciplinary action taken by the appropriate licensing authority in another jurisdiction, if the underlying grounds for the disciplinary action in another jurisdiction have been presented to the Board by certified record and the Board has determined that the facts found by the appropriate authority in the other jurisdiction constitute 1 or more of the acts defined in this chapter. Every individual licensed as a psychologist or a licensed psychology associate and every individual registered as a doctoral-level psychological assistant or master’s-level psychological assistant in this State is deemed to have given consent to the release of disciplinary information by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists or other comparable agencies in another jurisdiction and to waive all objections to the admissibility of previously adjudicated evidence of such acts or offenses.

(8) Failed to notify the Board that the licensee’s or registrant’s license, certification, or registration as a psychologist, a licensed psychology associate, a doctoral-level psychological assistant, or a master’s-level psychological assistant in another state has been subject to discipline, or has been surrendered, suspended, or revoked. A certified copy of the record of disciplinary action, surrender, suspension, or revocation is conclusive evidence of the disciplinary action, surrender, suspension, or revocation.

(9) While acting as a supervising psychologist or a supervising licensed psychology associate, failed to supervise and take reasonable steps to see that doctoral-level psychological assistants or master’s-level psychological assistants perform services responsibly, competently, and ethically, in accordance with rules and regulations established by the Board. Supervising psychologists and supervising licensed psychology associates are subject to disciplinary action for any acts or offenses that are grounds for disciplinary action when the acts or offenses are undertaken by the doctoral-level psychological assistant or the master’s-level psychological assistant acting under the supervising psychologist’s or supervising licensed psychology associate’s direction or control.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this chapter and subchapter IV of Chapter 101 of Title 29, the Board may not restrict, suspend, or revoke a license or registration or limit a licensee’s or registrant’s right to engage in the practice of psychology or to act as a psychologist, licensed psychology associate, doctoral-level psychological assistant, or master’s-level psychological assistant until the licensee or registrant has been given notice and an opportunity to be heard, in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act [Chapter 101 of Title 29].
