8 | violation may compel an individual licensed to practice under | ||||||
9 | this Act, or who has applied for licensure under this Act, to | ||||||
10 | submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, as | ||||||

20 | another physician of his or her choice present during all | ||||||
21 | aspects of this examination. Failure of an individual to submit | ||||||

24 | until the individual submits to the examination if the | ||||||
25 | Department finds that the refusal to submit to the examination |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | was without reasonable cause as defined by rule. | ||||||
2 | (b) In instances in which the Secretary immediately | ||||||
3 | suspends a person's license for his or her failure to submit to | ||||||
4 | a mental or physical examination when directed, a hearing on | ||||||

6 | 15 days after the suspension and completed without appreciable | ||||||

10 | mental or physical examination, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
11 | license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
12 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
13 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||

16 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
17 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||

22 | standards under the provisions of his or her license. The | ||||||
23 | Department may order a licensee or a registrant to submit
to a | ||||||
24 | reasonable physical or mental examination if the licensee
or | ||||||
25 | registrant's mental or physical capacity to work safely is
an | ||||||
26 | issue in a disciplinary proceeding. The failure to submit
to a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Director's order to submit to a reasonable mental or
physical | ||||||
2 | exam shall constitute a violation of this Act subject
to the | ||||||
