  1  6 licensed as a health care or mental health care
  1  7 professional if all of the following apply:
  1  8    (1)  The individual does not represent to the

  1 26    (4)  The individual has not been convicted of a
  1 27 crime that has a direct bearing on the individual's
  1 28 ability to practice without endangering the public.
  1 29    c.  An individual administering hypnotherapy, or
  1 30 representing to the public that the individual
  1 31 administers hypnotherapy, other than an individual
