b. No less than $4,500 for violations of § 6109(a)(1) and (a)(3) of this title.
(b) The Board may withdraw or reduce conditions of probation when it finds that the deficiencies, which required such action have been remedied.
(c) In the event of a formal or informal complaint concerning the activity of a licensee that presents a clear and immediate danger to the public health, safety or welfare, the Board may temporarily suspend the individual's license, pending a hearing, upon the written order of the Secretary of State or the Secretary's designee, with the concurrence of the board president or the board president's designee. An order temporarily suspending a license may not be issued unless the individual or the individual's attorney received at least 24 hours' written or oral notice before the temporary suspension so that the individual or the individual's attorney may file a written response to the proposed suspension. The decision as to whether to issue the temporary order of suspension will be decided on the written submissions. An order of temporary suspension pending a hearing may remain in effect for no longer than 60 days from the date of the issuance of the order unless the temporarily suspended individual requests a continuance of the hearing date. If the temporarily suspended individual requests a continuance, the order of temporary suspension remains in effect until the hearing is convened and a decision is rendered by the Board. An individual whose license has been temporarily suspended pursuant to this section may request an expedited hearing. The Board shall schedule the hearing on an expedited basis, provided that the Board receives the request within 5 calendar days from the date on which the individual received notification of the decision to temporarily suspend the individual's license.
