Creates provisions relating to emergency suspensions or restrictions for massage therapists and chiropractors

HB 1623 creates a streamlined process for temporarily suspending or restricting the licenses of massage therapists and chiropractors when two conditions are met: the licensee faces criminal charges related to their work, and the licensing board believes the public health, safety, or welfare is at immediate risk. The bill requires the board to quickly submit evidence to an administrative hearing commission, which must review the request within five days and issue an order if justified. A formal hearing must then occur within 45 days (or by the end of criminal proceedings) to determine if the suspension should continue, with the licensee able to present evidence. If no disciplinary cause is found at the hearing, the suspension is automatically lifted, and the board must remove all related records from public files. This process applies only to emergency suspensions and does not replace other disciplinary actions the board may take.
