2004 Minnesota Statutes

     214.33 Reporting. 

    Subdivision 1.    Permission to report.  A person who 
 has personal knowledge that a regulated person has the inability 
 to practice with reasonable skill and safety by reason of 
 illness, use of alcohol, drugs, chemicals or any other 
 materials, or as a result of any mental, physical, or 
 psychological condition may report that knowledge to the program 
 or to the board.  A report to the program under this subdivision 
 fulfills the reporting requirement contained in a regulated 
 person's practice act. 

    Subd. 2.    Self-reporting.  A person regulated by a 
 participating board who is unable to practice with reasonable 
 skill and safety by reason of illness, use of alcohol, drugs, 
 chemicals, or any other materials, or as a result of any mental, 
 physical, or psychological condition shall report to the 
 person's board or the program. 

    Subd. 3.    Program manager.  The program manager shall 
 report to the appropriate participating board a regulated person 
 who does not meet program admission criteria, violates the terms 
 of the program participation agreement, or leaves the program 
 except upon fulfilling the terms for successful completion of 
 the program as set forth in the participation agreement.  The 
 program manager shall report to the appropriate participating 
 board a regulated person who is alleged to have committed 
 violations of the person's practice act that are outside the 
 authority of the health professionals services program as 
 described in sections 214.31 to 214.37.  The program manager 
 shall inform any reporting person of the disposition of the 
 person's report to the program. 

    Subd. 4.    Board.  A board may refer any regulated 
 person to the program consistent with section 214.32, 
 subdivision 4, if the board believes the regulated person will 
 benefit and the public will be protected.
