The purpose of this Rule is to clarify the requirements and procedures for reporting convictions, judgments, and other adverse actions in order to enforce the provisions of section 12-305-112, C.R.S.
A. A certified speech-language pathologist shall report to the Director, in a manner established by the Director, within thirty days of:
1. A felony conviction of the
certificate holder, or a conviction of any crime related to the practice of
speech-language pathology, whether under the laws of this or any other state or
the United States (a guilty verdict, or a plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or
no contest accepted by the court is considered a conviction);
2. A disciplinary action imposed upon the
certificate holder by another jurisdiction that licenses, certifies, or
registers speech-language pathologists which would otherwise be a violation of
section 12-305-112, C.R.S., including but
not limited to a citation, sanction, probation, civil penalty, or a denial,
suspension, revocation or modification of a license or certificate, whether it
is imposed by consent decree, order, or other decision, for any cause other
than failure to pay a license fee by the due date or failure to meet continuing
professional education or competency requirements;
3. Revocation or suspension by another state
board, municipality, federal or state agency of any health services related
license or certificate; or
4. Any
judgment, award, or settlement of a civil action or arbitration, in any
jurisdiction, in which there was a final judgment or settlement against the
licensee or certificate holder with respect to the practice of speech-language
pathology.
B. Report contents.
1. If the event is an action by any
governmental agency, the report to the Director must include the name of the
agency, its jurisdiction, the case name, court docket, proceeding or case
number by which the event is designated, and a copy of the consent decree,
order, or decision.
2. If the event
is a felony conviction, the report to the Director must include the court, its
jurisdiction, the case name, the case number, a description of the matter or a
copy of the indictment or charges, and any plea or verdict entered by the

conviction, the certificate holder shall provide to the Director a copy of the
