Florida Administrative Code › 64 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › 64B33 - Board of Athletic Training › Chapter 64B33-5 - DISCIPLINE › Section 64B33-5.001 - Disciplinary Guidelines

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The Board
				provides within this rule disciplinary guidelines which shall be imposed upon
				applicants or licensees whom it regulates under Chapter 468, Part XIII, F.S. or
				Section 456.47. The purpose of this rule is to notify applicants and licensees
				of the ranges of penalties which will routinely be imposed unless the Board
				finds it necessary to deviate from the guidelines for the stated reasons given
				within this rule. The ranges of penalties provided below are based upon a
				single count violation of each provision listed; multiple counts of the
				violated provisions or a combination of the violations may result in a higher
				penalty than that for a single, isolated violation. Each range includes the
				lowest and highest penalty and all penalties falling between. The purposes of
				the imposition of discipline are to punish the applicants or licensees for
				violations and to deter them from future violations; to offer opportunities for
				rehabilitation, when appropriate; and to deter other applicants or licensees
				from violations.
(2) Violations and
				Range of Penalties. In imposing discipline upon applicants and licensees, in
				proceedings pursuant to Sections
				 120.57(1)  and
				 120.57(2),
				F.S., the Board shall act in accordance with the following disciplinary
				guidelines and shall impose a penalty within the range corresponding to the
				violations set forth below. The verbal identification of offenses are
				descriptive only; the full language of each statutory provision cited must be
				consulted in order to determine the conduct included.
(3) When the Board finds an applicant or
				licensee whom it regulates under Chapter 468, Part XIII, or Section
				 456.47, F.S., has committed any
				of the acts set forth in Section
				 468.719, F.S., it shall issue a
