Texas LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jurisprudence Exam

What is the amount of administrative penalty based on?

1. Time taken to rectify the violation

2. Responses from other licensed professionals

3. Consumer reviews

4. Severity of violation, economic harm, past violations, deterrence, correction efforts

The correct answer is: Severity of violation, economic harm, past violations, deterrence, correction efforts

The correct answer is D. The amount of administrative penalty is based on various factors such as the severity of the violation, economic harm caused by the violation, any past violations by the individual or entity, the efforts made to correct the violation, and the need for deterrence to prevent future violations. These factors help determine the appropriate amount of the penalty that would be fair and effective in addressing the violation and promoting compliance with the regulations. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because the amount of administrative penalty is not determined based on the time taken to rectify the violation, responses from other licensed professionals, or consumer reviews. These factors do not directly impact the calculation of the penalty amount as much as the severity of the violation, economic impact, past behavior, and deterrence factors do.
