In reaching a decision on the disciplinary action under the Administrative Procedure Act (Government Code section 11400 et seq.), determining terms and conditions of probation, or consequences for non compliance of ordered probation, the Board shall consider the disciplinary guidelines entitled "Disciplinary Guidelines" [2020 Edition] which are hereby incorporated by reference. Deviation from these standards, guidelines and orders, including the standard terms of probation, is appropriate where the Board in its sole discretion determines that the facts of the particular case warrant such a deviation--for example: the presence of mitigating factors; the age of the case; evidentiary problems.
