The statutory authority for this rule includes but is not limited to sections 44-50-202(1)(b), 44-50-202(1)(c), 44-50-203(1)(a), 44-50-203(1)(b), 44-50-203(2)(l), 44-50-203(2)(m), 24-4-105, and 44-50-701, C.R.S. The purpose of this rule is to describe the process for disciplinary actions that do not involve summary suspension of a Natural Medicine License.
A.How a Disciplinary Action is Initiated. 1. If the State Licensing Authority, on its own initiative or based on a complaint, has reasonable cause to believe that a Licensee has violated the Natural Medicine Code, any of these Rules, or any of its orders, the State Licensing Authority may issue and serve upon the Licensee an Order to Show Cause (administrative action) as to why its license should not be suspended, revoked, restricted, fined, or subject to other disciplinary sanction.2. The Order to Show Cause shall identify the statute, rule, regulation, or order allegedly violated, and the facts alleged to constitute the violation. The order shall also provide an advisement that the license could be suspended, revoked, restricted, fined, or subject to other disciplinary sanction should the charges contained in the notice be sustained upon final hearing.B.Disciplinary Hearings. Disciplinary hearings will be conducted in accordance with Rule 9040 Administrative Hearings.C.Renewal. The issuance of an Order to Show Cause does not relieve the Licensee of the obligation to timely comply with all license renewal requirements. The Division's approval of any renewal application filed by a Licensee does not constitute a Final Agency Order or an agreement to settlement of any administrative action. The License shall continue to comply with the requirements of this Rule pending a Final Agency Order resolving any Order to Show Cause.47 CR 17, September 10, 2024, effective 10/1/2024
