1Pursuant to Section 4520.995(2), F.S., 6listed below is a range of disciplinary guidelines from which disciplinary penalties will be imposed upon persons guilty of violating Chapter 520, F.S. The disciplinary guidelines are based upon a single-act violation of each provision listed. Multiple acts of the violated provisions or a combination of violations may result in a higher penalty than that for a single, isolated violation. For purposes of this rule, the order of penalties, ranging from lowest to highest, is: reprimand, fine, probation, suspension, and revocation. Nothing in this rule shall preclude any discipline imposed upon a person pursuant to a stipulation or settlement agreement, nor shall the ranges of penalties set forth in this rule preclude the Office of Financial Regulation from issuing a letter of guidance when appropriate.
131(1) As provided in Section 136520.995(2)(c), F.S., 138the Office of Financial Regulation may, in addition to other disciplinary penalties, place a licensee or applicant for a license on probation. The placement of the licensee or applicant for a license on probation shall be for such a period of time and subject to such conditions as the Office of Financial Regulation may specify.
