Narcotics conviction.

A. If it is the decision of the State Board of Medical

Licensure and Supervision, after considering all the testimony

presented, that the defendant is guilty as charged, the Board shall

revoke the license of the defendant, and the defendant's rights to

practice medicine and surgery. The Board, however, may suspend a

license, during which suspension the holder of such suspended

license shall not be entitled to practice medicine and surgery

thereunder. If during suspension, the defendant practiced medicine

or surgery or has been guilty of any act of unprofessional conduct,

as defined by the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure

and Supervision Act, the Board may revoke the license of such

licensee or place the licensee upon probation for any period of time

not less than one (1) year, nor more than five (5) years, or on

second offense place the licensee on probation for an indefinite

period of time, during which time the licensee's conduct will be

kept under observation. The Board, furthermore, may impose on the

defendant, as a condition of any suspension or probation, a

requirement that the defendant attend and produce evidence of

successful completion of a specific term of education, residency, or

training in enumerated fields and/or institutions as ordered by the

Board based on the facts of the case. The education, residency, or

training shall be at the expense of the defendant. The Board may

also impose other disciplinary actions as provided for in Section

509.1 of this title. At the end of any term of suspension imposed

by the Board, the applicant for reinstatement shall show to the

Board successful completion of all conditions and requirements

imposed by the Board and demonstrate eligibility for reinstatement.

B. Immediately upon learning that a licensee has been convicted

of a felonious violation of a state or federal narcotics law, the

Executive Director of the Board shall summarily suspend the license

and assign a hearing date for the matter to be presented to the

Board. Immediately upon learning that a licensee is in violation of

a Board-ordered probation, the Executive Director of the Board may

summarily suspend the license based on imminent harm to the public

and assign a hearing date for the matter to be presented at the next

scheduled Board meeting.
