   4. D. The person may practice under any business license

2. 2A Vermont chiropractor knowingly continues treating patients after the license expires. Which enforcement route does 3 V.S.A. § 127(d)(4) permit?

   1. A. The practice is handled solely by assessing the routine biennial renewal fee.
   2. B. The State may proceed for unauthorized practice or unprofessional conduct.
   3. C. The practice is permitted during the first two years after expiration.
   4. D. The Board must treat the activity only as a continuing-education deficiency.

   Answer: B

   Explanation: "practicing at any time when the licensee knew or should have known the license was expired, may be prosecuted by the State as unauthorized practice under this section or as unprofessional conduct" Knowledge of expiration brings the conduct within the statute's enforcement rule even before two years have elapsed; ordinary renewal treatment alone does not answer it.

   Reference: Vermont Title 3 Chapter 5 — 3 V.S.A. § 127(d)(4)

   4. D. Issue licenses for every U.S. jurisdiction

   2. B. A graduate whose application is pending
   3. C. A clinic employee without a professional license

5. 5A Vermont clinic restricts a chiropractor's practice privileges as a disciplinary action. The chiropractor appeals the restriction. What is the clinic's reporting deadline to OPR?

   1. A. Within 30 days of the restriction, after the appeal is decided
   2. B. Within 90 days of the restriction, whether or not appealed
   3. C. Within 10 days of the restriction, whether or not appealed

   Answer: C

   Explanation: "The report shall be made within 10 days of the date the disciplinary action was taken, regardless of whether the action is the subject of a pending appeal" The duty belongs to the institution that limited privileges, and an appeal does not postpone its 10-day report.

   Reference: Vermont Title 3 Chapter 5 — 3 V.S.A. § 128(a)(1)-(2)

6. 6A Vermont chiropractor plans to supervise an intern only by video call while working from another office. Does this meet the Board rule's definition of direct supervision?

   2. B. Yes, if notes are reviewed that day
   3. C. No; the chiropractor must be physically present at the facility
   4. D. No; supervision must occur at an accredited school

   Answer: C

   Explanation: Rule 1.2 defines direct supervision as being "physically present at the chiropractic facility for consultation or intervention." A remote video call does not meet that condition.

   4. D. The administrative hearing officer
