(A) In addition to the powers and duties enumerated in Section 40-1-120, the board may issue private reprimands. The board may impose a fine of up to two thousand dollars for each violation of a provision of this chapter or of a regulation promulgated by the board, not to exceed a total of ten thousand dollars. Fines are payable immediately upon the effective date of discipline unless otherwise provided by the board. Interest accrues after fines are due at the maximum rate allowed by law. No licensee against whom a fine is levied is eligible for reinstatement until the fine has been paid in full.
(B) A decision by the board to revoke, suspend, or restrict a license or to limit or discipline a licensee becomes effective upon delivery of a copy of the decision to the licensee and a petition for review does not operate as a supersedeas or stay.
(C) No stay or supersedeas may be granted pending an appeal from a decision by the board to revoke, suspend, or restrict the license for six months or more. An appeal taken to an administrative law judge as provided under Article 5, Chapter 23, Title 1 has precedence on the calendar of an administrative law judge, is considered an emergency appeal if the board has revoked, suspended, or restricted a license for six months or more, and should be heard not later than thirty days from the date the petition is filed. The review is limited to the record established by the board hearing.
