27 (2) Determination of sanctions for violations under this

5 listed in section 106 of the administrative procedures act of 1969,
6 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.306,
and holds that the final decision or order
7 is unlawful and is to be set aside, the court shall state on the
8 record the reasons for the holding and may remand the case to the
9 disciplinary subcommittee for further consideration.
10 (3) A disciplinary subcommittee may impose a fine in an amount
11 that does not exceed $250,000.00 for a violation of section
12 16221(a) or (b). A disciplinary subcommittee shall impose a fine of
13 at least $25,000.00 if the violation of section 16221(a) or (b)
14 results in the death of 1 or more patients.
15 (4) A disciplinary subcommittee may require a licensee or
16 registrant or an applicant for licensure or registration who has
17 violated this article, article 7, or article 8 or a rule
18 promulgated under this article, article 7, or article 8 to
19 satisfactorily complete an educational program, a training program,
20 or a treatment program, a mental, physical, or professional
21 competence examination, or a combination of those programs and
22 examinations.
23 (5) A disciplinary subcommittee shall impose the sanction of
24 permanent revocation for a violation of section 16221(b)(xiii) if
25 the violation occurred while the licensee or registrant was acting
26 within the health profession for which he or she was licensed or
27 registered.
1 (6) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (5) and this
2 subsection, a disciplinary subcommittee shall not impose the
3 sanction of permanent revocation under this section without a
4 finding that the licensee or registrant engaged in a pattern of
5 intentional acts of fraud or deceit resulting in personal financial
6 gain to the licensee or registrant and harm to the health of
7 patients under the licensee's or registrant's care. This subsection
8 does not apply if a disciplinary subcommittee finds that a licensee
9 or registrant has violated section 16221(b)(xiv) or (b)(xv).
