Any persons performing the duties of a licensee and holding an expired license shall be subject to a minimum penalty of $ 500.00 and a maximum penalty of $ 5,000 per day. In addition, the supervisor and/or employer may be subject to a similar penalty.

Failure to appear for a hearing when requested shall cause the license to be suspended indefinitely.
