 6 care surrogate selected to make a health care decision on behalf of a

 16 been found to have committed misconduct by or entered into a stipulated
 17 settlement with the board for professional medical conduct or found
 18 guilty of a crime or liable of an offense in a court of law pursuant to
 19 paragraph (c) of this subdivision, or if a summary suspension against
 20 the licensee has been signed by the commissioner to disclose the follow-
