The CSLB issues a citation to a licensee for a violation. What may that citation include?
Explanation
B&P §7099 lets the Registrar issue a citation in lieu of proceeding by accusation; the citation describes the violation and may contain an order of correction — or, against a licensee only, an order to pay a specified sum to the injured party instead of correcting — and may assess a civil penalty, which §7099.2(b)(1) sets at not less than $500 and not more than $8,000. (a) confuses the citation with discipline; the license is reached only if the citation goes unpaid or uncorrected. (b) hands an administrative officer a criminal power. (d) invents a collection remedy the section does not provide.
