Tennessee Specific Surveying (TS) Practice Exam

Which action is explicitly authorized by the board as a disciplinary measure against a land surveyor?

Fine without due process Ban from all future practice nationwide Revoke, suspend or refuse to renew a certificate Issue a monetary penalty without hearing

Correct Answer:

Revoke, suspend or refuse to renew a certificate

Explanation:

Licensing boards regulate who may practice and use the professional title. The strongest, most direct disciplinary authority they have is to change the status of a license or certificate—revoking it, suspending it, or refusing to renew it. These actions effectively prohibit or limit the right to practice and are designed to protect the public from individuals who don’t meet the required standards. They’re taken within a formal process that involves notice and an opportunity to be heard, ensuring due process. Fines or penalties without a hearing would bypass that essential due process, and a nationwide ban is not a typical or appropriate power for a state board, which governs practice within its own jurisdiction.
