The following severity levels and sanction guides are based on the relevant factors in §801.301 of this title (relating to Relevant Factors). (1)Level One - revocation of license. These violations evidence intentional or gross misconduct on the part of the licensee and/or cause or pose a high degree of harm to the public and/or may require severe punishment as a deterrent to the licensee, or other licensees. The fact that a license is ordered revoked does not necessarily mean the licensee can never regain licensure. (2)Level Two - extended suspension of license. These violations involve less misconduct, harm, or need for deterrence than Level One violations, but may require termination of licensure for a period of not less than one year. (3)Level Three - moderate suspension of license. These violations are less serious than Level Two violations, but may require termination of licensure for a period of time less than a year. (4)Level Four - probated suspension of licensure. These violations do not involve enough harm, misconduct, or need for deterrence to warrant termination of licensure, yet are severe enough to warrant monitoring of the licensee to ensure future compliance. Probationary terms may be ordered as appropriate. (5)Level Five - reprimand. These violations involve inadvertent or relatively minor misconduct and/or rule violations not directly involving the health, safety and welfare of the public.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been
reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's
legal authority.
