Section Arch 402.04 - Procedures for Assessing and Collecting Fines(a) Payment of a fine shall be included among the options available for settling disciplinary allegations, and shall be included among the types of disciplinary sanctions imposed after notice and hearing.(b) In cases where the board initially intends to limit disciplinary sanctions to an administrative fine, the board shall issue a "notice of apparent liability" describing the alleged offense, stating the amount of the assessed fine, and notifying the alleged offender that he or she shall pay or compromise the fine by a date certain or request that an administrative hearing be held. If a hearing is requested, the notice of apparent liability shall be withdrawn and a notice of hearing shall be issued. In such hearings, the board's disciplinary options shall not be limited to the assessment of an administrative fine.(c) Nonpayment of a fine by a licensee or respondent in contravention of an order, agreement or promise to pay, shall be a separate ground for discipline by the board or a basis for denying a subsequent license or renewal application or a basis for judicial action seeking to collect the fine.N.H.
