KRS 311.593: Judicial review of orders of board.

(1) Except for final orders denying an application or reregistration for licensure or

emergency orders temporarily suspending, limiting, or restricting a physician's

license, all final orders of the board affecting a physician's license shall become

effective thirty (30) days after notice is given to the licensee unless otherwise

agreed; however, the board may provide that a final order be effective immediately

when, in the board's opinion, based upon sufficient reasonable cause, the health,

welfare, and safety of the physician's patients or the general public would be

endangered by delay.

(2) Any physician who is aggrieved by a final order of the board denying a license or

rendering disciplinary action against a licensee may seek judicial review of the

order by filing a petition with the Circuit Court of the county in which the board's

offices are located in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B.

(3) The court shall not award injunctive relief against the board without providing the

board with the reasonable opportunity to be heard.
