Which of the following is NOT a listed TBCE sanction?

• A. Reprimand
• B. Probation
• C. Fines
• D. Community service requirement

Answer: (D)

Disciplinary actions by a licensing board are formal penalties the board can impose to protect the public and uphold professional standards. Reprimand, probation, and fines are standard tools in that arsenal: a reprimand is a public admonition, probation imposes conditions under supervision for a period, and fines impose monetary penalties as part of the discipline. A community service requirement is not a typical, enumerated sanction used by TBCE. It isn’t part of the board’s standard penalty list, though a community-service element could theoretically appear as a condition within a probation order in some contexts, it isn’t itself a listed TBCE sanction. Therefore, an item describing a community service requirement does not fit TBCE’s usual sanction options.
