What is The Division's role in Administrative penalties?

• A. Investigations, prosecution of complaints, in disciplinary proceedings against licensees
• B. Issuing licenses
• C. Providing training
• D. Handling only financial penalties

Answer: (A)

The Division acts as the enforcement arm, handling investigations and prosecuting complaints in disciplinary proceedings against licensees. When a violation is suspected, the Division conducts a thorough investigation, gathers evidence, and, if warranted, pursues charges through disciplinary hearings, which can result in administrative penalties such as fines, license suspensions or revocations, or other sanctions. It’s not responsible for issuing licenses or simply providing training, and administrative penalties encompass more than just financial penalties. This is why investigations and prosecution of complaints in disciplinary proceedings best describe the Division’s role.
