(a) A healing arts board shall not deny an application for licensure or suspend, revoke, or otherwise impose discipline upon a licensee or health care practitioner subject to this division on the basis of a civil judgment, criminal conviction, or disciplinary action in another state if that judgment, conviction, or disciplinary action is based solely on the application of another stateâs law that interferes with a personâs right to receive sensitive services that would be lawful if provided in this state, regardless of the patientâs location. (b) This section does not apply to a civil judgment, criminal conviction, or disciplinary action imposed in another state based upon conduct in another state that would subject an applicant, licensee, or health care practitioner subject to this division to a similar claim, charge, or action under the laws of this state. (c) For purposes of this section: (1) âHealing arts boardâ means any board, division, or examining committee in the Department of Consumer Affairs that licenses or certifies health professionals. (2) âSensitive servicesâ has the same meaning as in Section 56.05 of the Civil Code.
