Section 36-32-17 - Examination of applicant's physical or mental health.

36-32-17. Examination of applicant's physical or mental health. If the board members suspect that the physical or mental health of any applicant is such as to jeopardize or endanger those who seek assistance from him, the board shall require the applicant to be examined by a competent examiner selected by the board. The board shall pay the cost of such examination. If the medical examiner confirms that the person's physical or mental health is such as to jeopardize or endanger those who seek relief from the applicant, the board may deny the application for a license until the applicant furnishes satisfactory proof of being physically and mentally competent and sound to practice counseling.
