What happens if a breach of the Code of Ethics is confirmed?

• A. No action is taken
• B. License is automatically suspended
• C. The commissioner issues a warning only
• D. The discipline committee may impose education, fines, or other penalties

Answer: (D)

When a breach of the Code of Ethics is confirmed, the matter moves through the regulator’s discipline process, and the Discipline Committee has the authority to determine an appropriate remedy. This can include requiring education or training to address gaps, imposing fines, or applying other penalties such as conditions on practice or probation. The emphasis is on a range of possible sanctions tailored to the breach and its seriousness, rather than an automatic suspension or a single, always-only warning.
