The phrase 'penalty for citation' refers to which action?

• A. License suspension
• B. Probation
• C. Administrative fine
• D. Payment of a fine, payable by 30 days from the date the citation becomes a final order

Answer: (D)

This tests understanding that the penalty tied to a citation is a monetary fine that must be paid. When a citation is issued for a minor violation, the associated penalty is the fine, and the key detail is the payment deadline: it’s due within 30 days from the date the citation becomes a final order. This clarifies the procedural remedy rather than actions like suspending a license or placing someone on probation, which are separate disciplinary steps that could follow but are not what the phrase directly denotes. So the correct action described by the phrase is paying the fine within the 30-day window after finalization.
