A decision of a board shall contain the following:
A board, in addition to taking other disciplinary action, may revoke the license of a health professional whose license has expired if the decision was based on conduct that occurred while the health professional was licensed.
The chairperson of a board may sign an order, decision, or other document of the board on behalf of the board.
