B. The certified speech-language pathologist shall notify the Director of any worsening of the illness or condition, or any significant change in the illness or condition that affects the certified speech-language pathologist's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety, within thirty days of the change of the illness or condition.

C. Compliance with this Rule is a prerequisite for eligibility to enter into a Confidential Agreement with the Director pursuant to section 12-305-117, C.R.S.

Rather, the Director will evaluate all facts and circumstances to determine whether a Confidential Agreement is appropriate.
D. If the Director discovers that a certified speech-language pathologist has a mental or physical illness or condition that affects the certified speech-language pathologist's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety, and the certified speech-language pathologist has not timely notified the Director of such illness or condition, the certified speech-language pathologist may be subject to disciplinary action pursuant to section 12-305-112(2)(d)(I), C.R.S.
