(a) Place the person on probation for a specified period or until further order of the Board.

(f) Impose a fine of not more than $5,000 for each act which constitutes a ground for disciplinary action, which must be deposited with the State Treasurer for credit to the State General Fund.

The order of the Board may contain such other terms, provisions or conditions as the Board deems proper and which are not inconsistent with law.
