Introduced By: Senator Joshua Miller

Date Introduced: March 24, 2022

It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows:
     SECTION 1. Section 5-37-8 of the General Laws in Chapter 5-37 entitled "Board of
Medical Licensure and Discipline" is hereby amended to read as follows:
     5-37-8. Grounds for discipline without hearing.
     The director may temporarily suspend the license of a physician or limited registrant
without a hearing if the director finds that evidence in his or her possession indicates that a
physician's or limited registrant's continuation in practice would constitute an immediate danger to
the public. In the event that the director temporarily suspends the license of a physician or limited
registrant without a hearing, a hearing by the board must be held within ten (10) days after the day
the suspension has occurred. In the event the tenth day occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal state
holiday, the hearing by the board shall be held on the first business day following the Saturday,
Sunday, or legal state holiday.
     SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage.
