Florida Administrative Code › 64 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › 64B3 - Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel › Chapter 64B3-12 - DISCIPLINE › Section 64B3-12.001 - Disciplinary Guidelines

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Purpose. The
				Board provides within this rule disciplinary guidelines which shall be imposed
				upon applicants, registrants or licensees whom it regulates under Chapter 483,
				Part II, F.S., or a telehealth provider registered under section
				456.47(4), F.S.
				The purpose of this rule is to notify applicants, registrants 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 and also are provided for repeat violations;
				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, registrants or licensees for violations and to deter them from
				future violations; to offer opportunities for rehabilitation, when appropriate;
				and to deter other applicants, registrants or licensees from violations. For
				the purposes of this rule, the descriptions of the violations are abbreviated,
				and the full statute or rule cited should be consulted to determine the
				prohibited conduct.
(2) Violations
				and Range of Penalties. For applicants, all violations are sufficient for
				refusal to certify an application for licensure. For registrants or licensees,
				the imposition of probation as a penalty shall ordinarily require compliance
				with conditions such as restitution, continuing education and/or training,
				indirect or direct supervision by a Board-approved monitor, restrictions on
				practice, submission of reports, appearances before the Board, and/or hours of
				community service. As appropriate, such conditions of probation also shall be
				required following any period of suspension. In addition to any other
				discipline imposed, the Board shall assess the actual costs related to the
				investigation and prosecution of a case. In imposing discipline pursuant to
				Sections 120.57(1) and
				(2), F.S., the Board shall act in accordance
				with the following disciplinary guidelines and shall impose a penalty as
				authorized by Section
				456.072(2),
				F.S., within the range corresponding to the violations set forth below. Offense
				identifications are descriptive only; the full language of each statutory
				provision must be considered in order to determine the conduct included.
(a) Section
				483.825(1)(a)
				or 456.072(1)(h),
				F.S.: Attempting to obtain, obtaining, or renewing a license or registration
				under this part by bribery, by fraudulent misrepresentation, or through an
				error of the department or the board.
