(1) The licensee is guilty of fraud in the practice of marriage and family therapy or fraud or deceit in the licensee's admission to the practice;
(2) The licensee has been convicted during the past five years of a felony. The conviction of a felony includes the conviction of any offense which, if committed within the State of South Dakota, would constitute a felony;

A majority of the board may demand an examination of the licensee by a competent medical examiner selected by the board at the board's expense. If the licensee fails to submit to the examination, this constitutes immediate grounds for suspension of the licensee's license;
(6) The licensee has obtained or attempted to obtain a license or renewal of a license by bribery or fraudulent representation;

(8) The licensee knowingly made a false statement on any form promulgated by the board in accordance with this chapter or the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter;
