What happens if an administrative citation is not paid?

If an administrative citation is not paid, license reinstatement is indefinitely postponed. This outcome emphasizes the importance of addressing administrative citations promptly. In many regulatory frameworks, including those governing pharmacy practices, an unpaid citation can lead to a suspension of a practitioner’s license or delay in reinstatement until the citation is resolved. This dynamic serves to encourage compliance and ensure that practitioners are held accountable for any violations or infractions. When the citation remains unpaid, the administrative body may restrict the individual's ability to practice legally, which underscores the seriousness of adherence to the regulations laid out for maintaining a valid pharmacy license.
