What are potential penalties for repeated ABC violations?

• A. One-day suspensions with no other penalties.
• B. Fines, license suspension or revocation, and possible criminal charges, plus mandatory corrective actions.
• C. Public apology only.
• D. Mandatory employee training with no fines.

Answer: (B)

When violations happen repeatedly, enforcement actions are designed to correct behavior, deter future noncompliance, and protect the public. The best answer reflects a combination of penalties: fines to create a financial consequence, suspension or revocation of the license to stop the business from operating, possible criminal charges if the violations are serious or illegal, and mandatory corrective actions that require the business to implement compliance measures (such as training, updated policies, or corrective plans). This mix addresses both punishment and practical steps to prevent recurrence.

Other options fall short because a single-day suspension with no other penalties doesn’t address ongoing risk, a public apology is not an enforceable or sufficient remedy for repeated violations, and mandatory employee training alone without fines or licensing consequences doesn't ensure broader compliance or accountability.
