(a) Any disciplinary action taken by any
member board against a physician licensed through the compact shall
be considered discipline for unprofessional conduct that may be subject
to discipline by other member boards, in addition to any violation of the
medical practice act or regulations in that state.
(b) If a license granted to a physician by the member board in the
state of principal license is revoked, surrendered or relinquished in lieu
of discipline, or suspended, then all licenses issued to the physician by
member boards shall automatically be placed, without further action
necessary by any member board, on the same status. If the member
board in the state of principal license subsequently reinstates the
physician's license, a license issued to the physician by any other
member board shall remain encumbered until that respective member
board takes action to reinstate the license in a manner consistent with
the medical practice act of that state.
(c) If disciplinary action is taken against a physician by a member
board not in the state of principal license, any other member board may
consider the action conclusive as to matter of law and fact decided and
either:
(1) impose the same or lesser sanctions against the physician so
long as the sanctions are consistent with the medical practice act
of that state; or
(2) pursue separate disciplinary action against the physician under
its respective medical practice act, regardless of the action taken
in other member states.
(d) If a license granted to a physician by a member board is revoked,
surrendered or relinquished in lieu of discipline, or suspended, then any
licenses issued to the physician by any other member boards shall be
suspended, automatically and immediately without further action
necessary by the other member boards, for ninety (90) days upon entry
of the order by the disciplining board, to permit the member boards to
investigate the basis for the action under the medical practice act of
that state. A member board may terminate the automatic suspension of
the license it issued prior to the completion of the ninety (90) day
suspension period in a manner consistent with the medical practice act
of that state.
