(a) If the board finds against the registrant, the board, in its decision, may terminate all operations of the registrant during the period fixed by the decision, except those operations the board determines that the person may complete. The board may impose upon the registrant compliance with specific conditions as may be just in connection with the registrant’s operations, and may further provide that, until the conditions are complied with, no application for restoration of the suspended or revoked registration shall be accepted by the board.

(b) The board shall provide public notice of the suspension or revocation pursuant to this section.

Terms Used In California Public Resources Code 777

  • Board: means the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. See California Public Resources Code 700
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Person: as used in this article means any natural person. See California Public Resources Code 755
  • Statute of limitations: A law that sets the time within which parties must take action to enforce their rights.

(c) The board may issue a private reprimand when a registrant commits a failure of responsibility that warrants a lesser level of discipline than suspension. The issuance of a private reprimand does not prohibit the board from using the subject of the private reprimand in an accusation, within the statute of limitations, seeking suspension or revocation resulting from a subsequent complaint, to establish a pattern of lesser failures of professional responsibility. If the evidence is insufficient to support a private reprimand or an accusation, the executive officer for registration may send a letter expressing the examining committee’s concerns.

(Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 133, Sec. 45. (SB 272) Effective July 23, 2021.)
