4774.132 Procedure in case of mental illness or incompetence.

If the state medical board has reason to believe that any person who has been granted a certificate to practice as a radiologist assistant under this chapter is mentally ill or mentally incompetent, it may file in the probate court of the county in which the person has a legal residence an affidavit in the form prescribed in section 5122.11 of the Revised Code and signed by the board secretary or a member of the board secretary’s staff, whereupon the same proceedings shall be had as provided in Chapter 5122. of the Revised Code. The attorney general may represent the board in any proceeding commenced under this section. If any person who has been granted a certificate to practice is adjudged by a probate court to be mentally ill or mentally incompetent, the person’s certificate shall be automatically suspended until the person has filed with the state medical board a certified copy of an adjudication by a probate court of the person’s subsequent restoration to competency or has submitted to the board proof, satisfactory to the board, that the person has been discharged as having a restoration to competency in the manner and form provided in section 5122.38 of the Revised Code. The judge of the probate court shall forthwith notify the state medical board of an adjudication of mental illness or mental incompetence, and shall note any suspension of a certificate in the margin of the court’s record of such certificate.
