A. Whenever probable cause exists that a licensee has violated a provision of the act or these rules, a citation may be issued to the licensee for such violation. An informal conference may be held with the licensee to determine whether a compromise of the penalty for the violation would be in the best interests of the state.

Providing an employee with the citation shall be considered the same as giving it to the licensee. Citations may be mailed to the licensee.
