Citation (Discipline)
A streamlined disciplinary tool for specified minor violations, carrying a set penalty the licensee can pay rather than contest.
A citation is a fast-track disciplinary action for specific, clearly defined minor violations. It carries a set penalty, usually a fine, that the licensee can pay to resolve the matter without a full disciplinary hearing.
A licensee who disagrees with a citation may dispute it and request a hearing instead of paying.
