Maximum days for temporary suspension when board suspends license due to immediate danger to public health and safety?

• A. 90 days
• B. 180 days
• C. 365 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (B)

When a board believes that continuing to practice would pose an immediate danger to public health and safety, it can issue a temporary suspension to stop practice while it investigates. The period for that emergency action is capped at 180 days, providing protection for the public while allowing time for due process. After 180 days, the board can renew the order or move forward with a longer-term action through proper proceedings. The other options don’t fit because they either represent shorter emergency windows or a full-year period, whereas the standard maximum for a temporary suspension due to immediate danger is 180 days.
