Which action requires at least 2 votes from the members?

• A. Suspension of COR/Reprimand
• B. Revocation of COR
• C. Issuance of a COR
• D. Demotion to assistant

Answer: (A)

Disciplinary actions against a practitioner's Certificate of Registration are decided by the regulatory board through voting. When a case warrants sanction, suspending the COR or issuing a reprimand is handled only after a deliberation that requires at least two board members to vote in favor. This ensures that a single member cannot unilaterally impose discipline and that there is sufficient consensus to protect public safety and the practitioner’s due process. Issuing a COR is typically an eligibility determination based on meeting criteria and may not involve the same punitive voting threshold. Demotion to assistant is more of an internal employment action rather than a formal certificate sanction. Revocation of a COR is a severe penalty that usually requires a higher threshold or additional due process steps beyond just two votes.
