What type of action may the director take against a certificate holder for violations?

The director has the authority to take actions based on confirmed violations or noncompliance. This means that any disciplinary measures implemented against a certificate holder must be grounded in verified instances of wrongdoing or failure to adhere to established regulations. This approach ensures that individuals are treated fairly, allowing for due process where the evidence of a violation or noncompliance is scrutinized before any action is taken.

Opting for actions based on confirmed instances allows the regulatory framework to maintain credibility and ensures that certificate holders are accountable for their actions. It protects both the interests of the public relying on legal document preparers and the integrity of the certification process itself. The necessity for confirmation before any action aligns with principles of fairness and justice in regulatory practices.
