In any order or decision issued by the board in resolution of a disciplinary proceeding in which disciplinary action is imposed against a medical imaging or radiation therapy professional, the board may direct any medical imaging or radiation therapy professional to pay the board a sum not to exceed the reasonable and actual costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the board and its investigative panels in the investigation and prosecution of the case. When applicable, the medical imaging or radiation therapy professional's license may be suspended until the costs are paid to the board. A medical imaging or radiation therapy professional may challenge the reasonableness of any cost item in a hearing under chapter 28-32 before an administrative law judge. The administrative law judge may approve, deny, or modify any cost item, and the determination of the judge is final. The hearing must occur before the medical imaging or radiation therapy professional's license may be suspended for nonpayment.
