The commissioner may refuse to renew, suspend or revoke a license, or may impose probationary conditions, where the licensee or applicant for a license has been guilty of unprofessional conduct which has endangered or is likely to endanger the health, welfare or safety of the public. Such unprofessional conduct shall include: Obtaining a license by means of fraud, misrepresentation or concealment of material facts; being guilty of unprofessional conduct as defined by the rules established by the commissioner, or violating the code of ethics adopted and published by the commissioner; being convicted of a crime other than minor offenses defined as “infractions”, “violations”, or “offenses” in any court if, in accordance with the provisions of section 46a-80, the acts for which the applicant or licensee was convicted are found by the commissioner to have a direct bearing on whether he should be entrusted to serve the public in the capacity of an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant. The clerk of any court in this state in which a person practicing occupational therapy has been convicted of any crime as described in this section shall, immediately after such conviction, transmit a certified copy, in duplicate, of the information and judgment, without charge, to the department containing the name and address of the occupational therapist, the crime of which he has been convicted and the date of conviction. The hearing on such charges shall be conducted in accordance with regulations adopted by the commissioner pursuant to section 20-74i. If any registration is revoked or suspended, notification of such action shall be sent to the department. Any person aggrieved by a final decision of the commissioner may appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section 4-183. Such appeal shall have precedence over nonprivileged cases in respect to order of trial. The Attorney General shall act as attorney in the public interest in defending against such an appeal. One year from the date of the revocation of a license, application for reinstatement may be made to the commissioner. The commissioner may accept or reject an application for reinstatement and may, but shall not be required to, hold a hearing to consider such reinstatement.
