What can happen if a licensee fails to correct a notice of noncompliance?

If a licensee fails to correct a notice of noncompliance, they may be issued a citation. A notice of noncompliance typically alerts a licensee to specific violations or areas that do not meet regulatory standards. If these issues are not rectified within the specified timeframe, authorities can escalate the matter by issuing a citation, which serves as a formal notification of the infraction and can carry additional penalties or consequences. This action emphasizes the importance of compliance with regulatory standards in maintaining a valid license and practicing responsibly within the field.

The other options suggest outcomes—such as automatically being licensed, receiving a warning letter, or being given more time to comply—that do not align with the regulatory procedures typically followed in such situations. A citation indicates a more serious response to the failure to address compliance issues promptly.
