FAC § 55484.5 Effective Jan 1, 1998Div. 20 · Ch. 6 · Art. 4

Statute text

(a)The Legislature finds there to be a substantial nexus between the conduct specified in Section 55484 and an applicant’s or holder’s fitness for licensure.

(b)The department shall not dismiss an action where a violation, however minor, has been established. The department shall not dismiss an action because the applicant or holder establishes factors in mitigation.

(c)However, the department may impose discipline other than denial or revocation of the license. As an alternative to revocation of a license, the department may stay a revocation subject to terms for a period of probation. As an alternative to denial the department may issue a license subject to conditions. Terms of probation or terms of conditional licensure may include, but are not limited to, a requirement of restitution, payment for extra audits, immediate revocation on a new violation, or any other terms that respond to the particular violations or circumstances found.
