R495-876-8. Sanctions for Non-compliance

If a Provider or its employee or volunteer fail to comply with this Code of Conduct, DHS may impose appropriate sanctions (such as corrective action, probation, suspension, disbarment from State contracts, and termination of the Provider's license or certification) and may avail itself of all legal and equitable remedies (such as money damages and termination of the Provider's contract). In imposing such sanctions and remedies, DHS shall comply with the Utah Administrative Procedures Act and applicable DHS rules. In appropriate circumstances, DHS shall also report the Provider's misconduct to law enforcement and to the Provider's clients and their families or legal representatives (e.g., a legal guardian). In all cases, DHS shall also report the Provider's misconduct to the licensing authorities, including the DHS Office of Licensing.
