Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 1399.710 - Disciplinary Guidelines

In reaching a decision on a disciplinary action under the Administrative Procedure Act (Government Code Section 11400, et seq.), the board shall consider the disciplinary guidelines entitled "Manual of Disciplinary Guidelines with Model Disciplinary Orders" [revised September 2005] which are hereby incorporated by reference. Deviation from these guidelines and orders, including the standard terms of probation, is appropriate where the board in its sole discretion determines that the facts of the particular case warrant such a deviation--for example: the presence of mitigating factors; the age of the case; evidentiary problems.
