What is the maximum penalty for license violation?

• A. Administrative fine
• B. Revocation
• C. Suspension
• D. Probation

Answer: (B)

The most severe disciplinary action you can face for a license violation is revocation. When a license is revoked, you lose the legal authority to practice, and you typically must go through a formal process and meet stringent requirements if you ever want to be licensed again. Suspension is temporary and allows you to practice again after a set period, while probation keeps the license but imposes conditions and oversight. Administrative fines are monetary penalties that can accompany actions but don’t themselves remove your license. So, revocation is the maximum penalty because it permanently ends the ability to practice until reinstatement is pursued and granted.
