### § 101-03.1-03-02. Informal disposition.

At any time prior to or after formal disciplinary proceedings have been instituted against an
apprentice, licensed, or certified appraiser, the appraiser may submit to the board an offer of settlement
whereby the appraiser agrees to accept sanctions in lieu of formal disciplinary action. Sanctions may
include voluntarily surrendering the permit, suspension of the permit, probation, imposition of a
monetary fine, a letter of reprimand, licensing or certification education courses, or a requirement that
the appraiser submit work product for board review. If the board determines that the proposed
settlement will adequately protect the public, the board may accept the offer and enter a decision
consented to by the appraiser incorporating the proposed settlement.
