Pursuant to Business and Professions Code sections 2878.1 (VN Practice Act) and 4521.2 (PT Law) and California Code of Regulations sections 2520.4 (VN Regulations) and 2577.5 (PT Regulations), an LVN or PT must report any known violation of the law committed by another LVN or PT. Licensees must report violations to the Board, in writing, within 30 calendar days of becoming aware of the violation. The reporting licensee must cooperate with the Board in furnishing information or assistance. The report may be submitted on the “Licensee Mandatory Reporting Form” available on the Board´s website or by writing to the Board´s Enforcement Division.
