Disciplinary Actions

 

 

When the Board takes disciplinary action against a licensee, a brief statement of the conduct and the sanctions imposed will appear on the Board’s web page for a period of time equal to the length of the disciplinary action, or one year, whichever is greater.  Licensees who have failed to meet the conditions imposed will remain on the web page until the conditions are met.  NOTE: Disciplinary actions taken by the Board remain on the licensee’s record even though any conditions imposed by the Board have been met.
