- Revocation on conviction of felony - Fugitive from justice. A. 1. The State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision is hereby given quasi-judicial powers while sitting as a Board for the purpose of revoking, suspending, or imposing other disciplinary actions upon the license of physicians or other licensees of the Board, and appeals from its decisions shall be taken to the Supreme Court of this state within thirty (30) days of the date that a copy of the decision is mailed to the appellant, as shown by the certificate of mailing attached to the decision. 2. The license of any physician or other licensee of the Board who has been convicted of any felony within or outside of this state, whether in a state or federal court, may be suspended by the Board upon the submission thereto of a certified copy of the judgment and sentence of the trial court. 3. Upon proof of a felony conviction by the courts or any plea of a felony, the Board shall revoke the license of the physician or other licensee of the Board. If the felony conviction is overturned on appeal and no other appeals are sought, the Board shall restore the license. Court records of such a conviction shall be prima facie evidence of the conviction. 4. The Board shall also revoke and cancel the license of any physician or other licensee of the Board who has been charged in a court of record of this or other states of the United States or in the federal court with the commission of a felony and who is a fugitive from justice, upon the submission of a certified copy of the charge together with a certificate from the clerk of the court that after the commitment of the crime the physician or other licensee of the Board fled from the jurisdiction of the court and is a fugitive from justice. B. To the extent necessary to allow the Board the power to enforce disciplinary actions imposed by the Board, in the exercise of its authority, the Board may punish willful violations of its orders and impose additional penalties as allowed by Section 509.1 of this title.
