. (a) The program may place a nursing home administrator license on probation in lieu of formal action to suspend or revoke the license if the department determines that probation is the appropriate action. Upon successful completion of the probation period, the license shall be restored to regular status.
  (b) The probationary license shall be based upon an agreement entered into between the licensee and the program that specifies terms and conditions of licensure during the probationary period. The terms and conditions shall be related to matters, including, but not limited to, work performance, rehabilitation, training, counseling, progress reports, and treatment programs.
  (c) The term of the probationary license shall not exceed two years. If the licensee successfully completes the term of probation, as determined by the department, no further action shall be taken upon the allegations that were the basis for the probationary license. If the licensee fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the probationary license agreement, the department may proceed with a formal action to suspend or revoke the license.
