Besides fines and suspension, which of these may the board order under s. 489.129(1)?

Correct Answer

D) Financial restitution to a consumer for financial harm directly related to a violation

Section 489.129(1) lists the board’s tools, and restitution is among them: it may "require financial restitution to a consumer for financial harm directly related to a violation of a provision of this part". Imprisonment is a court’s to order, not a licensing board’s, and nothing in the section reassigns contracts or forfeits a bond to the department.
