In reaching a decision on a disciplinary action under the Administrative Procedure Act (Government Code Section 11400 et seq.), the Bureau shall consider the disciplinary guidelines entitled "A Manual of Disciplinary Guidelines for Locksmiths" [November 1996 1st Edition] which are hereby incorporated by reference. Deviation from these guidelines and orders, including the standard terms of probation, is appropriate where the Bureau, in its sole discretion, determines that the facts of the particular case warrant such a deviation--for example: the presence of mitigating factors; the age of the case, evidentiary problems.
