Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 59

A. The Board of Chiropractic Examiners is authorized, after

notice and opportunity for a hearing, pursuant to Article II of the

Administrative Procedures Act, to issue an order suspending the

original license or renewal license, or both, of a chiropractic

physician whenever the Board finds, by clear and convincing

evidence, that the chiropractic physician has become incompetent to

practice chiropractic because of mental illness. Commitment of a

chiropractic physician to an institution for the mentally ill shall

be considered prima facie evidence of his incompetency to practice

chiropractic because of mental illness.

B. Any chiropractic physician who has his original license or

renewal license, or both, suspended under the provisions of this

section shall have the right to seek a judicial review of the order

pursuant to Article II of the Administrative Procedures Act.

C. The Board, on its own motion or on the application of a

chiropractic physician whose original license or renewal license, or

both, have been suspended under the provisions of this section, is

authorized, on proper showing that the chiropractic physician's

competency to practice chiropractic has been restored, to reinstate

the license or licenses at any time; provided, however,

reinstatement shall not be made while the chiropractic physician is

confined in an institution for the mentally ill. No reinstatement

fee shall be charged by the Board for the reinstatement of any

license which has been suspended under the provisions of this

section.
