What penalty may be imposed on a licensee practicing on an expired license?

Practicing on an expired license can result in a penalty that typically takes the form of a fine. This reflects the regulatory framework designed to ensure that all practitioners maintain their credentials and are practicing legally. The imposition of a fine serves as a deterrent for licensees, encouraging them to keep their licenses up to date and adhere to state regulations.

While sanctions such as suspension, mandatory training, or revocation may apply in different contexts or for more severe infractions, the specific penalty for practicing on an expired license is generally a fine. This reinforces the importance of compliance with licensing laws while not being as severe as suspension or revocation, which are usually reserved for more serious violations or repeated offenses.
