(a) The board may impose any of the

practitioner is subject to disciplinary sanctions under sections 5
through 9 of this chapter:
(1) Permanently revoke a practitioner's license.
(2) Suspend a practitioner's license.
(3) Censure a practitioner.
(4) Issue a letter of reprimand.
(5) Place a practitioner on probation status and require the
practitioner to:
(A) report regularly to the board upon the matters that are the
basis of probation;
(B) limit practice to those areas prescribed by the board;
(C) continue or renew professional education approved by the
board until a satisfactory degree of skill has been attained in
those areas that are the basis of the probation;
(D) perform or refrain from performing any acts, including
community restitution or service without compensation, that the
board considers appropriate to the public interest or to the
rehabilitation or treatment of the practitioner; or
(E) satisfactorily complete a peer review specified by the board
as a condition for termination of probationary status if the
practitioner is a licensee (as defined in IC 25-2.1-1-8).
(6) Assess a civil penalty against the practitioner for not more
than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each violation listed in
sections 5 through 9 of this chapter except for a finding of
incompetency due to a physical or mental disability.
(7) Order a practitioner to pay consumer restitution to a person
who suffered damages as a result of the conduct or omission that
was the basis for the disciplinary sanctions under this chapter.

shall consider a practitioner's ability to pay the amount assessed. If the
practitioner fails to pay the civil penalty within the time specified by
the board, the board may suspend the practitioner's license without
additional proceedings. However, a suspension may not be imposed if
the sole basis for the suspension is the practitioner's inability to pay a
civil penalty.
(c) The board may withdraw or modify the probation under
subsection (a)(5) if the board finds after a hearing that the deficiency
that required disciplinary action has been remedied or that changed
circumstances warrant a modification of the order.
