If the Commission determines a license holder has committed professional misconduct, which of the following actions can be taken?

When the Commission determines that a license holder has committed professional misconduct, revoking or suspending the license is a significant action that reflects the severity of the misconduct. This step is often necessary to protect the public and maintain the integrity of the profession. Revocation indicates that the individual can no longer practice legally until a future review or requalification, while suspension temporarily halts their ability to practice, usually with a set duration. This aligns with the Commission’s duty to enforce standards of accountability within the profession.

The other actions, while they represent possible disciplinary measures in different contexts, do not directly address the level of severity associated with misconduct. Issuing a warning might be appropriate for lesser infractions but does not equal the seriousness of revocation or suspension. Increasing the license fee does not address misconduct and could be unrelated to the behavior of the license holder. Requiring additional training may be suitable in cases where lack of knowledge or skills contributed to the misconduct, but it does not provide immediate accountability for actions that have already occurred. Thus, revocation or suspension is the most appropriate response when professional misconduct is confirmed.
