The administrative regulations are also available on the Legislative Research Commission’s website, at https://legislature.ky.gov/Law/kar/Pages/default.aspx

KAR #Summary
201 KAR 36:050This administrative regulation establishes the complaint and administrative hearing process to address alleged violations brought before the board. Section 5 uses the term “private reprimand” for non-serious statutory or regulatory offenses and is being amended to use the term “private admonishment”, which is consistent with KRS 335.540(3). KRS 335.545 provides that a hearing is required before imposing a written reprimand. Therefore, this amendment will bring the regulation into compliance with the authorizing statutes. Additionally, this amendment will include instructions with the Complaint Form and correct the form number in the material incorporated by reference. Finally, a new section advising complainants a release of medical records may be necessary under HIPAA and a new medical release form is included in the material incorporated by reference.
