The board shall immediately transmit its findings, together with an order stating the sanction to be imposed upon the accused, to the director who shall, as soon as practicable, order that appropriate action be taken in accordance with the order of the board. In no case shall a person be found guilty of unprofessional conduct unless a majority of the hearing committee votes in favor of finding the person guilty. If the accused is found not guilty, the board shall immediately issue an order dismissing the charges.
