CImposing a fine up to $5,000 per violation
DOrdering criminal prosecution of the licensee✓ Correct
Explanation
FREC is an administrative regulatory body, not a criminal court. FREC can impose administrative penalties: fines (up to $5,000 per violation), license suspension, revocation, probation, and required education. FREC cannot prosecute crimes — criminal prosecution is handled by the state attorney's office based on law enforcement referrals. A criminal conviction may also trigger FREC discipline, but they are separate proceedings.
