What is the amount of administrative penalty imposed by the board?

  1. Not less than $100 for each violation

  2. Varies depending on the violation severity

  3. Fixed at $5,000 for any offense

  4. Ranges from $50 to $5,000 per violation

The correct answer is: Ranges from $50 to $5,000 per violation

The correct answer indicates that the administrative penalty imposed by the board can range from $50 to $5,000 per violation. This range reflects the board's discretion in determining the severity of each violation and the corresponding penalty. It allows the board to tailor penalties based on the nature and seriousness of the infractions, thus ensuring that consequences are appropriate to the circumstances of each case. Other options suggest fixed amounts or overly simplistic approaches to penalties, which do not align with the board's established framework for addressing violations. The variability in penalties serves to enforce compliance while recognizing the varying degrees of misconduct that might occur within the practice of counseling.
