### § 50-02-07.1-03. Administrative sanction.

An administrative sanction must be imposed in the amount of five hundred dollars for any applicant

concerning eligibility for initial licensure 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 registration renewal, or a report of compliance with mandatory continuing education

An applicant or licensed physician 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.
