Item 1

 
1.__Possible sanctions.__For each violation of this chapter or the
rules or conditions of licensure or registration, the board may
take one or more of the following actions:

 
A.__Issue a warning, censure or reprimand to a licensee or
registrant. Each warning, censure or reprimand issued must
be based upon a violation of a different applicable law,
rule or condition of licensure or must be based upon a
separate instance of actionable conduct or activity;

 
B.__Suspend a license or registration for up to 360 days for
each violation of an applicable law, rule or condition of
licensure or registration or instance of actionable conduct
or activity. Suspensions may be set to run concurrently or
consecutively. Execution of all or any portion of a term of
suspension may be stayed pending successful completion of
conditions of probation, although the suspension remains
part of the licensee's or registrant's record;

 
C.__Revoke a license or registration;

 
D.__Impose a fine of up to $100,000 for each violation of an
applicable law, rule or condition of licensure or
registration or instance of actionable conduct or activity;

 
E.__Impose conditions of probation upon a licensee or
registrant. Probation may run for such time period as the
board determines appropriate; and

 
F.__Impose costs of investigation and hearing.

 
2.__Consent agreements.__The board may execute a consent
agreement that resolves a complaint or investigation without

Attorney General. Any remedy, penalty or fine that is otherwise
available by law may be achieved by consent agreement, including
long-term suspension and permanent revocation of a license or
registration. A consent agreement is not subject to review or
appeal and may be modified only by a writing executed by all
parties to the original consent agreement. A consent agreement is
enforceable by an action in Superior Court.

 
3.__Surrender of license or registration.__The board may
accept surrender of a license or registration. In order for a
licensee's or registrant's surrender of a license or registration
to be effective, a surrender must first be accepted by vote of
