Section 50.550. Default.

 

(1)  If the credential holder does not make a deposit or otherwise respond to the citation in a timely fashion, the department may without further proceedings issue an order of default against the credential holder. A default order issued under this subchapter may assess a forfeiture, not to exceed the amount identified in the citation. Violation of an order issued under this subchapter may result in assessing a forfeiture, not to exceed the amount identified in the citation. Violation of an order issued pursuant to this subchapter may also result in a refusal to renew credentialing or additional disciplinary action.

(2)  If the credential holder requests a hearing pursuant to s. SPS 50.540 but fails to appear at the hearing at the time scheduled, the credential holder is in default and the department may make findings and enter an order on the basis of the citation. The department may, for good cause, relieve the respondent from the effect of such findings and permit the respondent to answer and defend at any time before the department enters an order, or within a reasonable time.
