(b) If a person accused of violating subsection (a) of
this section admits the violation, or the board finds the causes
alleged to be true and determines that a letter of admonition or
revocation or suspension of a license or registration is an
inappropriate remedy, the board may assess an administrative
penalty against that person of not more than two thousand
dollars ($2,000.00) for each violation of this act or rule
promulgated under this act, to be paid into the county treasury
to the credit of the public school fund of the county in which
the violation occurred. In addition to the penalty imposed
under this subsection, the board may impose a license probation
period upon that person, a violation of which is grounds for
license revocation or suspension under subsection (a) of this
section.
(c) The board may summarily suspend the license of any
person holding a pharmacist license without a hearing if the
board finds probable cause to believe that there is imminent
danger to the public health or safety. The board may meet by
telephone to consider summarily suspending a license if a quorum
of the board is not available to meet in person under exigent
circumstances. Summary suspension shall occur if the board
determines there is probable cause to believe that continued
practice by the licensee constitutes an imminent danger to the
public health or safety. Proceedings for a disciplinary hearing
shall be instituted simultaneously with the summary suspension.
If the board does not commence the disciplinary hearing within
thirty (30) days of the suspension order, the suspension shall
be automatically vacated. At the written request of the
suspended licensee in order to prepare for a hearing, the thirty
(30) day period may be extended and the temporary suspension
continued for an additional period not to exceed thirty (30)
days.
