An administrative sanction shall be imposed in the amount of three times the application fee for any applicant or licensee regulated by the board who provides false or deceptive information with regard to any material fact concerning eligibility for initial license or renewal after verifying or certifying that the information provided is true. This includes all material information provided in an initial license application, an annual renewal, or a report of compliance with mandatory continuing education requirements. The imposition of an administrative sanction under this section is not a disciplinary action of the board; however, it does not preclude the board from also imposing disciplinary action, or other penalties provided by law, for the same conduct in appropriate cases. An applicant or licensee may challenge the imposition of an administrative sanction under this section in a hearing under North Dakota Century Code chapter 28-32 before an administrative law judge.
