Sec. 5.59  Offenses for which revocation of licenses, certificates or 
documents is mandatory.

    An Administrative Law Judge enters an order revoking a respondent's 
license, certificate or document when--
    (a) A charge of misconduct for wrongful possession, use, sale, or 
association with dangerous drugs is found proved. In those cases 
involving marijuana, the Administrative Law Judge may enter an order 
less than revocation when satisfied that the use, possession or 
association, was the result of experimentation by the respondent and 
that the respondent has submitted satisfactory evidence that he or she 
is cured of such use and that the possession or association will not 
recur.
    (b) The respondent has been a user of, or addicted to the use of, a 
dangerous drug, or has been convicted for a violation of the dangerous 
drug laws, whether or not further court action is pending, and such 
charge is found proved. A conviction becomes final when no issue of law 
or fact determinative of the respondent's guilt remains to be decided.
