Who may be subject to disciplinary actions?

• A. The applicant, registrant, or license holder.
• B. The public.
• C. Any business owner.
• D. Only licensed engineers.

Answer: (A)

Disciplinary actions are directed at the people who hold or are seeking credentials under the regulatory board. The board’s authority applies to applicants, registrants, and license holders because they are the ones authorized to practice and therefore bound by the rules and standards. The public isn’t subject to disciplinary action by this board, since they are the audience the rules protect. A business owner isn’t automatically subject to discipline unless they themselves are a credentialed professional under the board’s jurisdiction. And the discipline isn’t limited to one title; it covers any credentialed person—such as engineers, technicians, installers—who violate the applicable statutes, rules, or standards.
