    (a)    The Board may impose a fine not exceeding $2,500 or suspend a license or both on a license holder who violates this article.

    (b)    In deciding whether to fine a license holder or suspend the license, the Board shall consider whether:

        (1)    the public welfare and morals would be impaired by allowing the license holder to operate during the suspension period; and

        (2)    the payment of the fine will achieve the desired disciplinary purposes.

    (c)    Fines collected under this section shall be paid to the Board.
