What is the purpose of sanctions imposed by the Board of Examiners?

The purpose of sanctions imposed by the Board of Examiners is to enforce compliance and discipline when necessary. Sanctions serve as a mechanism to uphold professional standards and ensure that licensed embalmers adhere to the regulations and ethical guidelines that govern their practice. By imposing sanctions, the Board can address behaviors or actions that may jeopardize public safety, professional integrity, or the reputation of the industry. This enforcement function ultimately maintains trust in the profession and protects the interests of the public.

While rewards, legislation promotion, and educational funding are important aspects of professional development and regulation, they do not directly relate to the Board's primary role in overseeing compliance and discipline within the field. Sanctions are specifically designed to correct deviations from acceptable practice, ensuring that embalmers remain accountable and that the profession maintains its standards.
