What actions can the Board take if disciplinary action is needed?

The Board has the authority to refuse, revoke, or suspend a license as part of its disciplinary actions. This means that if a funeral arranger or related licensee engages in misconduct or violates regulations, the Board can take these decisive actions to protect public welfare and uphold the standards of the profession. Revoking or suspending a license directly impacts the individual's ability to operate legally within the field, ensuring that only qualified and ethical practitioners are allowed to provide services.

Other potential choices do not align with the typical powers of a regulatory board in this context. For instance, issuing a verbal warning may not be sufficient for serious infractions, while providing additional training could be considered a remedial action rather than a formal disciplinary measure. Increasing regulatory fees falls outside the scope of direct disciplinary actions taken against individuals for misconduct. Therefore, the ability of the Board to refuse, revoke, or suspend licenses is essential in maintaining the integrity of the profession.
