What are the potential penalties for failure to comply with provisions in this code or Chapter 6001?

• A. Monetary fine only
• B. Community service
• C. Suspension, revocation, or refusal to issue or renew a license or certificate of registration
• D. Mandatory training

Answer: (C)

Penalties for not complying with provisions in this code or Chapter 6001 are disciplinary actions that affect your ability to practice, not just financial penalties. The primary remedies are suspension, revocation, or refusal to issue or renew a license or certificate of registration. This kind of consequence is designed to protect public safety by removing or restricting the authority to work when standards aren’t met or rules are violated. While fines or mandatory training can occur in some situations, they don’t address the ongoing ability to perform professionally the way licensure actions do.
