LAC 46:LXXXV.907. Enrollment in Program

A. An impaired veterinarian or paraprofessional who enrolls in an approved treatment program shall enter into an agreement with the board authorizing appropriate board action if the veterinarian or paraprofessional does not remain in the program. The professional's license shall be suspended or revoked; but enforcement of the suspension or revocation may be stayed for the length of time the professional remains in the program and makes satisfactory progress to completion, complies with the terms of the agreement, and adheres to any limitations on his or her practice imposed by the board to protect the public. Failure to enter into such an agreement shall disqualify the veterinarian or paraprofessional from the peer assistance program.
