(a) Unless there is an agreed disposition of the complaint under Section 301.463, if probable cause is found under Section 301.457(e)(2), the board or the board's authorized representative shall file formal charges against the nurse.
(b) A formal charge must:
(1) be written;
(2) be specific enough to enable a person of common understanding to know what is meant by the formal charge; and
(3) contain a degree of certainty that gives the person who is the subject of the formal charge notice of each particular act alleged to violate a specific statute, board rule, or board order.
(c) A copy of the formal charge shall be served on the nurse or the nurse's counsel of record.
(d) The board shall adopt reasonable rules to promote discovery by each party to a contested case.
