Which violation type may lead to a censure or reprimand from the Board?

Censures or reprimands from the Board are usually intended for violations that are not severe enough to warrant more serious penalties but still indicate a failure to adhere to the standards and regulations expected in the profession. Minor infractions of law or regulations fit this description, as they involve breaches that are less serious in nature. Such violations can include small procedural errors or lapses that don't significantly impact the overall compliance with funeral service laws.

This type of disciplinary action serves as a warning and addresses the importance of maintaining professional standards and compliance, helping to promote accountability among funeral practitioners. By issuing a censure or reprimand, the Board reinforces the need for adherence to the laws and regulations while allowing for continued practice without the more severe consequences that come from major violations.

In contrast, violations associated with serious crimes or fraudulent activities typically entail more severe penalties due to their significant impact on public trust and safety. Minor administrative errors, while potentially concerning, usually do not rise to the level that warrants the Board's formal disciplinary actions like a censure or reprimand.
