while impaired or incapacitated.
A. A licensed psychologist shall report to the Board
information regarding a psychologist suspected of practicing
psychology while being impaired or incapacitated by misuse of drugs,
narcotics, alcohol, chemicals, or as a result of any mental or
physical condition. Any person making a report to the Board under
this section shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability
resulting from such reports, provided such reports are made in good
faith.
B. The Board may defer disciplinary action under Section 1370
of this title for an impaired psychologist who voluntarily signs an
agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Board, agreeing to enter a
Board-approved treatment and monitoring program for impaired
practitioners. The impaired psychologist shall consent, in
accordance with applicable law, to the release of any treatment
information to the Board from anyone within the approved treatment
program.
C. In the event the psychologist fails to comply with the
agreement terms and make satisfactory progress in the treatment and
monitoring program, the Board shall suspend the license immediately
and assign a hearing date for the matter to be presented to the
Board.
D. Any person who enters into an agreement under this section
shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with
participation in the treatment program.
E. A psychologist's participation in a treatment program does
not prevent the Board from conducting additional proceedings for
acts or omissions of acts not specifically related to the
impairment.
