The board may refuse to issue a license, or suspend, revoke, impose probationary
conditions, impose an administrative fine, issue a written reprimand, or any
combination thereof regarding any licensee upon proof that the licensee or applicant
has:
(a) Violated any provision of KRS 329A.010 to 329A.090 or any administrative
regulation promulgated by the board;
(b) Knowingly and willfully made a material misstatement in connection with an
application for license or renewal;
(c) Been convicted of a felony;
(d) Practiced fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation;
(e) Committed any act that would have been cause for refusal to issue the license
had it existed and been known to the board at the time of issuance;
(f) Been incompetent or negligent in the practice of private investigating; or
(g) Violated the code of ethics promulgated by administrative regulation by the
board.
In addition to or in lieu of any other lawful disciplinary action under this section, the
board may assess a civil penalty not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000).
When the board issues a written reprimand to the licensee a copy of the reprimand
shall be placed in the permanent file of the licensee. The licensee shall have the
right to submit a response within thirty (30) days of its receipt and to have that
response filed in the permanent file.
At any time during the investigative or hearing processes, the board may accept an
assurance of voluntary compliance from the licensee if the assurance effectively
deals with the complaint.
The board may reconsider, modify, or reverse its probation, suspension, or other
disciplinary action.
Any party aggrieved by a disciplinary action of the board may bring an action in
Franklin Circuit Court pursuant to the provisions of KRS Chapter 13B.
A license shall be subject to expiration and renewal during any period in which the
license is suspended.
