Section 14Sec./Art. 14

Administrative Investigation. Administrative investigations shall be conducted by all the members of the Board sitting en banc. The existing rules of evidence shall be observed as far as practicable during administrative investigations.

If the Board, by majority vote of the members, shall find that the charges are sustained by evidence adduced, it may at its discretion reprimand the respondent or revoke or suspend his certificate of registration. In case of suspension, it shall be for a period of not more than six months. Where the certificate of registration has been revoked as herein provided, the Board may, after the expiration of six months and upon application, issue a new certificate of registration in place of a revoked certificate without the necessity of undergoing any examination if the respondent in the meanwhile has conducted himself in an exemplary manner.
