Article 12 - Dental Services Corporations.
Section 22-21-382 - Contracting Sales Representatives - Administrative Penalty in Lieu of Discretionary Suspension, Revocation, Etc.

(a) If, pursuant to procedures provided for in this article, it is found that one or more grounds exist for the suspension or revocation of, or refusal to renew or continue, any registration issued under this article, and except when such suspension, revocation, or refusal is mandatory, an order may be entered imposing upon the registrant, in lieu of such suspension, revocation, or refusal, an administrative penalty for each violation in the amount of $100.00 or, in the event of willful misconduct or willful violation on the part of the registrant, an administrative fine of $500.00. The administrative penalty may be augmented in amount by an amount equal to any commissions received by or accruing to the credit of the registrant in connection with any transaction to which the grounds for suspension, revocation, or refusal related.
(b) The order may allow the registrant a reasonable period, not to exceed 30 days, within which to pay to the commissioner the amount of the penalty so imposed. If the registrant fails to pay the penalty in its entirety to the commissioner at his office in Montgomery within the period so allowed, the registration of the registrant shall stand suspended or revoked, or renewal or continuation may be refused, as the case may be, upon expiration of such period and without any further proceedings.
