If a licensee is found to be in violation of license law, which action can the commission take?

When a licensee is found to be in violation of license law, the commission has the authority to impose a fine as a corrective measure. This action serves several important purposes: it acts as a deterrent against future violations, helps to uphold the integrity of the licensing process, and encourages compliance with the law. Fines are often used in regulatory environments to penalize conduct that is detrimental to the public or the regulatory framework.

While other actions might be applicable in certain contexts, such as warnings or mandatory training for lesser infractions, they do not carry the same weight or specific regulatory implications as fines. Issuing a temporary license would typically be unrelated to a violation and is more relevant in scenarios where a licensee is awaiting resolution for an issue rather than as a consequence of wrongdoing. Therefore, imposing a fine is the most direct and effective action the commission can take in response to a violation of license law.
