Any such action shall be taken in accordance with the Kansas administrative procedure act.

(b) Either before or after formal charges have been filed, the board and the licensee may enter into a stipulation which shall be binding upon the board and the licensee entering into such stipulation, and the board may enter its findings of fact and enforcement order based upon such stipulation without the necessity of filing any formal charges or holding hearings in the case. An enforcement order based upon a stipulation may order any disciplinary action against the licensee entering into such stipulation.

(c) The board may temporarily suspend or temporarily limit the license of any licensee in accordance with the emergency adjudicative proceedings provisions under the Kansas administrative procedure act if the board determines that there is cause to believe that grounds exist for disciplinary action against the licensee and that the licensee's continuation of practice would constitute an imminent danger to public health and safety.
