LICENSE.
Subdivision 1. Grounds for action. The board may refuse to grant a license to, or may
suspend, revoke, condition, limit, qualify, or restrict the license of any individual who the board,

practice of marriage and family therapy in a manner harmful or dangerous to a client or to the

the board;

or license renewal; or
(6) has failed to obtain continuing education credits required by the board.
Subd. 2. Restoring a license. For reasons it considers sufficient and upon a vote of five of its
members, the board may restore a license that has been revoked, reduce a period of suspension,
or withdraw a reprimand.
