For violations of law or rules, what is the maximum amount per offense that FREC may impose?

• A. Administrative fine up to $5,000 per offense
• B. Administrative fine up to $10,000
• C. No monetary penalty
• D. Suspension

Answer: (A)

FREC can impose administrative fines for violations of the license law and FREC rules, but there is a defined cap: up to five thousand dollars for each individual offense. This means every separate violation carries the possibility of a $5,000 fine, so multiple offenses can accumulate fines. FREC can also suspend, revoke, or place licensees on probation, but those non-monetary sanctions are separate from the per-offense fine limit. In short, the maximum monetary penalty per offense is five thousand dollars.
