§ 42.16. Refusal to grant, suspension and revocation
(2) Pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, or being found guilty, or receiving probation without verdict, disposition in lieu of trial, or an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition in the disposition of felony charges or an offense in connection with the practice of podiatric medicine or involving moral turpitude by a court of competent jurisdiction, or a jury.
(6) That said applicant or licensee is addicted to alcohol or drugs or has been convicted of a felonious act prohibited by the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L. 233, No. 64), known as “The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act,”1 or convicted of a felony relating to a controlled substance in a court of law of the United States or any other state, territory or country, or if he or she is or shall become mentally incompetent. An applicant's statement on the application declaring the absence of a conviction shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the absence of a conviction unless the board has some evidence to the contrary. In enforcing this paragraph, the board shall, upon probable cause, have authority to compel a podiatrist to submit to a mental or physical examination by a physician or a psychologist approved by the board. Failure of a podiatrist to submit to such examination when directed by the board, unless such failure is due to circumstances beyond his or her control, shall constitute an admission of the allegations against him or her, consequent upon which a default and final order may be entered without the taking of testimony or presentation of evidence. A podiatrist affected under this paragraph shall at reasonable intervals be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate that he or she can resume a competent practice of podiatry with reasonable skill and safety to patients.
(9) Soliciting patronage other than by legitimate advertisement, or paying a commission or agreeing to pay a commission to any person or persons for soliciting or for business secured, or paying any gratuity to any person with intent to have such person aid in securing business, or like unprofessional conduct.
