Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Board establishes these guidelines to ensure that
					 consequences in any disciplinary action of a Registered Professional Forester
					 or Certified Specialist are known, and to facilitate uniformity of penalties.
					 While recognizing that Administrative Law Judges must be free to exercise their
					 discretion in a particular case, the Board desires that these guidelines be
					 followed to the extent possible, and that any departures therefrom be noted and
					 explained in the proposed decision.
The Board further desires that matters in extenuation and
					 mitigation, as well as those in aggravation, be fully considered and noted in
					 the proposed decision. The primary importance is the adverse effect the
					 Registered Professional Forester's or Certified Specialist's actions had, or
					 will continue to have, on the protection of the public interest.
(a) If convicted of a felony as defined in
				  Section 778(a) and
				  governed by Section
				  778.5,
				  Public Resources Code, the ranges of disciplinary action for conviction(s) are:
Maximum: Revocation of the license.
Minimum: Revocation stayed for 2 years on the following
					 conditions:
(1) Actual suspension for
				  1 year.
(2) The respondent shall
				  obey all laws and regulations related to the practice of
				  forestry.

				  order.

				  business and/or client name submitted, or at its option require respondent to
				  notify with Board approved language and proof of notification, of the
