(b) A CRNP or a CNM adversely affected by an order of the board suspending, revoking, or restricting a QACSC, whether or not such suspension, revocation, or restriction is limited; or denying reinstatement of a QACSC, may obtain judicial review thereof by filing a written petition for review with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County in accordance with Section 41-22-20.

The suspension, revocation, or restriction of a QACSC shall be given immediate effect and no stay or supersedeas shall be granted pending judicial review of a decision by the board to suspend, revoke, or restrict a QACSC unless a reviewing court, upon proof by the party seeking judicial review, finds in writing that the action of the board was taken without statutory authority, was arbitrary or capricious, or constituted a gross abuse of discretion.
(d) From the judgment of the circuit court, either the board or any affected party who invoked judicial review may obtain a review of any final judgment of the circuit court under Section 41-22-21. No security shall be required of the board.
