After a formal fact-finding pursuant to § 2.2-4020 wherein a sanction is
imposed to fine, or to suspend, revoke or deny renewal of any license,
certificate or registration, the regulatory board or the Department may assess
the holder thereof the cost of conducting such fact-finding when the board or
Department has final authority to grant such license, certificate or
registration, unless the board or Department determines that the offense was
inadvertent or done in a good faith belief that such act did not violate a
statute or regulation. The cost shall be limited to (i) the reasonable hourly
rate for the hearing officer and (ii) the actual cost of recording the
proceedings.
