§ 4016a

(a) If the Council determines after an investigation that a violation of this chapter or of the rules and regulations enacted pursuant to this chapter warranting formal disciplinary action has not occurred, but that an act or omission of the licensee or certificate holder is a matter of concern and that licensee's or certificate holder's practice may be improved if made aware of the concern, the Council may issue a nondisciplinary confidential letter of concern regarding the licensee's or certificate holder's act or omission. (b) If a person licensed under this chapter receives a total of 3 letters of concern pursuant to this section, the Council may reasonably require a formal assessment of professional competency to assess the licensee's or certificate holder's ability in order to protect the health and safety of the public. At such hearing, all of the licensee's or certificate holder's letters of concern may be deemed no longer confidential and may be admitted into evidence.79 Del. Laws, c. 163, § 1;
