Upon the motion of any party to a hearing, a hearing officer may impose reasonable sanctions on parties who fail or refuse to comply with the rules and regulations of the Department regarding certificates of need or who violate a hearing officer's order. Additional reasonable sanctions may be imposed upon parties or non-parties who fail or refuse to comply with subpoenas. Reasonable sanctions include, but are not limited to, denial of or exclusion of information or documents sought; exclusion from the record of testimony of witnesses; or other reasonable measures. The imposition of sanctions shall not be to punish, but rather to compel fairness and to deny parties any advantage which might be gained by non-compliance.
