Colorado Revised Statutes Title 12. Professions and Occupations § 12-130-113. Disciplinary actions by board--procedures

(1) The board may take disciplinary or other action as authorized in section 12-20-404, may place conditions or limitations on a license, or may impose a censure if, after notice and hearing, the board determines that a licensee has committed any of the acts specified in section 12-130-112.

(2) The board may issue and send to a licensee, by certified mail, a written letter of admonition under the circumstances specified in and in accordance with section 12-20-404(4).

(3) The board may send a confidential letter of concern to a licensee under the circumstances specified in section 12-20-404(5). The confidential letter of concern and notice of the issuance of the letter shall be sent to the licensee by certified mail. Issuance of a confidential letter of concern shall not be construed to be discipline.

(4) If the board determines that a person licensed to practice landscape architecture pursuant to this article 130 is subject to disciplinary action under this section, the board may, in lieu of or in addition to other discipline, require a licensee to take courses of professional training or education. The board shall determine the educational conditions to be imposed on the licensee, including, but not limited to, the type and number of hours of training or education. All training or education courses are subject to approval by the board, and the licensee shall furnish proof of satisfactory completion of the training or education.

(5) Any disciplinary action taken by the board shall be in accordance with the provisions of section 12-20-403 and article 4 of title 24.

(6) In addition to the penalties provided for in this section, and in lieu of revoking a license upon a finding of misconduct by the board, a person who violates this article 130 or rules promulgated pursuant to section 12-20-204 or this article 130 may be punished by a fine not to exceed five thousand dollars.

(7) On its own motion or upon application after the imposition of discipline, the board may reconsider its prior action and reinstate a license, terminate suspension or probation, or reduce the severity of its prior disciplinary action.
