| SECTION 1. Section 5-37-8 of the General Laws in Chapter 5-37 entitled "Board of |
| Medical Licensure and Discipline" is hereby amended to read as follows: |
| 5-37-8. Grounds for discipline without hearing. |
| The director may temporarily suspend the license of a physician or limited registrant |

| the public. In the event that the director temporarily suspends the license of a physician or limited |
| registrant without a hearing, a hearing by the board must be held within ten (10) days after the day |
| the suspension has occurred. In the event the tenth day occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal state |

| Sunday, or legal state holiday. |
| SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage. |
