(a) While investigating an allegation against a licensee under this title, the Board may require the licensee to submit to an appropriate examination by a health care provider designated by the Board if the Board has reason to believe that the licensee may cause harm to a person affected by the licensee’s practice of audiology, hearing aid dispensing, speech–language pathology, or music therapy, or assistance in the practice of speech–language pathology or audiology.
(b) In return for the privilege given to a licensee to practice audiology, hearing aid dispensing, speech–language pathology, or music therapy, or assist in the practice of speech–language pathology or audiology in the State, the licensee is deemed to have:
