## Text

(a) After notice and hearing, whenever the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy has found a licensee to have committed any act enumerated in § 20-64-508 , the board shall have the power to impose a civil penalty and may order the license to be suspended until the penalty is paid.

(c) No penalty imposed by the board shall exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation, nor shall the board impose a penalty on a licensee where the license has been revoked by the board for a violation. (d) Each instance where a federal, state, or local law or regulation is violated shall constitute a separate violation.
