(1) The BHA may deny, suspend, or revoke a license issued under this part 2 pursuant to article 4 of title 24, or take other disciplinary action as set forth in subsection (2.5) of this section, at the BHA's discretion, upon a finding that the licensee:
(a) Has furnished false or fraudulent information in an application filed under this part 2;

(2.5) If the BHA determines that a licensee has committed an act that would authorize the BHA to deny, revoke, or suspend a license, the BHA may, at its discretion, impose other disciplinary actions that may include, but need not be limited to, a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars, probation, or stipulation.
(3) If the BHA suspends or revokes a license, the BHA may place all controlled substances owned or possessed by the licensee at the time of the suspension or on the effective date of the revocation order under seal. The BHA may not dispose of substances under seal until the time for making an appeal has elapsed or until all appeals have been concluded, unless a court orders otherwise or orders the sale of any perishable controlled substances and the deposit of the proceeds with the court. When a revocation order becomes final, all controlled substances may be forfeited to the state.
