(a) Upon a determination that a violation of the PLL,
an order issued by the board, or a board rule has occurred, the Board
shall revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, endorsement,
or registration, or shall reprimand a holder of a license or registration.
(b) For the purposes of this section, a reprimand means
any disciplinary action, other than the probation, suspension or revocation
of a license, endorsement or registration.
(c) A person whose license, endorsement, or registration
has been revoked pursuant to this section may not apply for a new
license, endorsement, or registration before one year from the date
of final revocation.
(d) The Board may place on probation a person whose
license, endorsement, or registration is suspended. If a license,
endorsement, or registration suspension is probated, the board may
require the person:
(1) to report regularly to the agency on matters that
are the basis of the probation;
(2) to limit practice to the areas prescribed by the
board; or
(3) to continue or review professional education until
the person attains a degree of skill satisfactory to the board in
those areas that are the basis of the probation.
(e) If the staff or the Board determines that probation
is appropriate to deter future violations of the Plumbing License
Law and Board Rules by the respondent, probation shall be administered
consistently under the following guidelines:
(1) for violations with greater potential to jeopardize
public health, safety, welfare, property, or environment (as listed
in the Board's Administrative Penalty Schedule for Class A violations),
the term of the probation may not be less than one year or more than
five years; and
(2) for violations with less potential to jeopardize
public health, safety, welfare, property, or environment (as listed
in the Board's Administrative Penalty Schedule for Class B violations),
the term of the probation may not be less than six months or more
than one year.
(f) Probation by voluntary agreed settlement between
a respondent and the staff may meet such terms that both parties deem
fair and which in the interest of justice may require.
