(A) A Commission may recommend to a person’s ultimate jurisdictional authority disciplinary action against the person it determines to be in violation of this subchapter. The recommendation may prescribe the following courses of action:
(1) A reprimand;
(2) To cease and desist the offensive action;
(3) A return or refund of money or other items, or an amount of restitution for services, received in violation of this subchapter; and
(4) Donation to a charity of an amount equal to the gift.
(B) The ultimate jurisdictional authority of a person who violates an ethics provision may take disciplinary action against the person as recommended by a Commission or as it deems appropriate, to the extent it is constitutionally permissible for the ultimate jurisdictional authority to take that action. The ultimate jurisdictional authority shall make its action, or determination to take no action, available to the public.
(C) If, after a hearing, the Commission finds no violation of this subchapter, the Commission shall dismiss the complaint.
