What is the penalty for each day of continued violation of the licensure requirements?

The reasoning behind why each day of continued violation of the licensure requirements constitutes a separate offense is rooted in the enforcement of regulatory compliance. This approach allows for incremental penalties to be applied for ongoing violations, reflecting the seriousness of noncompliance.

By treating each day of violation as a distinct offense, the regulatory authority can impose cumulative penalties that serve both as a deterrent to ongoing noncompliant behavior and as a means to encourage prompt corrective action. This structure safeguards the integrity of the licensing process and maintains standards within the industry.

In contrast, labeling a violation merely as a misdemeanor does not capture the ongoing nature of the infraction, and immediate suspension of the license deals with compliance in a different manner rather than focusing on the daily nature of the offense. While civil fines may be part of the penalties imposed, they do not necessarily address the notion that each day carries its own separate violation, which is more accurately described by the assertion of multiple offenses occurring over time.
