Discipline Search

The professional licensing boards, commissions, and committees within the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency are charged with the responsibility of disciplining licensees who have violated practice standards, acted dishonestly, or acted unethically. The standards of practice are located in IC 25-1-9 (health professions) and IC 25-1-11 (non-health professions). Additional standards of conduct may be contained in the individual board, commission, or committee statutes and rules.

When you click on "Begin Your Search" below, you will be able to view actions taken within the previous ninety (90) days.

Disciplinary information is provided as a public service. Although reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that electronic information on the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) web site is complete and accurate, IPLA does not guarantee that the information is such in all instances.

Information regarding the effective dates of disciplinary actions taken by a board, commission, or committee (hereafter referred to as "Board"):

In most cases, a final action taken by the Board in a disciplinary proceeding does not go into effect until a written order is issued by the Board, which does not occur until the order has been drafted, signed, and file stamped. The respondent cannot be required to comply with the order until the respondent has been served with the order or has actual knowledge of the order, except in the case of certain summary suspensions, settlements, or agreed orders (Indiana Code 4-21.5-3-3(e)). Actual knowledge cannot be implied by the Respondent's presence at the hearing. State law provides that the board may take up to ninety days to issue an order (with an extension of time available in certain cases). This means that a disciplinary action taken by a Board in a public meeting likely will not be effective immediately. Orders are posted on the agency's Discipline Search site. If you are a respondent to a pending disciplinary matter, please consult your attorney with any questions. If you have a final order and are on probation, please direct questions to probation@pla.in.gov.
