    239(3) This designation of violations as minor for the purposes of Section 251455.225(3), F.S., 253is limited to initial violations in which corrective action is commenced within 15 days of the Department's issuance of a notice of noncompliance. The violation must be corrected within 15 days. If it cannot be corrected within 15 days, then corrective action must be commenced within 15 days and the licensee must move with due diligence to complete the corrective action. A violation which continues past that period shall no longer be deemed a minor violation and shall be treated as a citation offense, pursuant to Rule 34061G4-19.001, 341F.A.C. Violations of this section, except as provided herein, shall be handled in accordance with the standard disciplinary guidelines. Nothing provided in this section shall restrict the Board from seeking full prosecution in such instances where aggravating circumstances are present which would preclude a minor violation dismissal.
