(b) If multiple violations are found, the department
may impose separate penalties for each violation as noted on the penalty
schedule. The department may require multiple suspension periods be
served consecutively based on the severity, duration, frequency and
seriousness of the violations.
(c) Any violation of the same category committed after
a prior finalized violation will be subject to an enhanced penalty.
A finalized violation is a violation that was finally adjudicated
or was not requested to be reviewed under §411.180 and §411.191
of the Act.
(d) The department may impose an enhanced penalty in
cases involving particularly egregious, dangerous, or intentional
violations.
(e) Review of the department's actions under this section
are governed by §411.191 of the Act.
(f) No courses may be offered or conducted following
a final suspension or revocation of the approved online provider's
certification. Applications for a license to carry a handgun submitted
based on a course taken from an approved online course provider whose
certification is suspended or revoked will be rejected as incomplete.
