Who prosecutes disciplinary cases on behalf of the Board?
The Board employs a full time Legal Department, which currently employs five attorneys, including the department director, and three legal assistants. The Legal Department prepares charges and allegations against licensees and prosecutes cases the Board has voted to pursue. The department also assists other Board staff in following licensees who have entered into consent orders (negotiated settlements) with the Board or who have accepted other conditions or discipline to resolve a case to ensure compliance.
