Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-30-123 - Informal Compliance Procedures

A. Upon notification of the recommendation of an enforcement advisory committee, a registrant may meet with Board staff. The registrant may appear with or without counsel. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss informal settlement of the investigative matter. Upon completion of the meeting, a Board enforcement officer shall make recommendations to the Board.

B. At any time either before or after formal disciplinary proceedings have been instituted against a registrant, the registrant may submit to the Board an offer of settlement whereby, in lieu of formal disciplinary action, the registrant agrees to accept certain sanctions such as suspension, civil penalties, enrolling in relevant professional education courses, limiting the scope of practice, submitting work product to professional peer review, or other disciplinary sanctions. If the Board determines that the proposed settlement will adequately protect the public welfare, the Board shall accept the offer and enter a decision consented to by the registrant, incorporating the proposed settlement.
