What is the commission required to do if an infraction involves a violation of criminal law?

When an infraction involves a violation of criminal law, the appropriate action for the commission is to report the case to the proper judicial authority. This ensures that the matter is escalated to the appropriate legal channels where it can be addressed according to the law. Criminal infractions are serious and typically require formal procedures, including potential prosecution.

By reporting to the judicial authority, the commission takes the necessary steps to uphold the legal standards and protect the integrity of the profession. This action aligns with the responsibility of regulatory bodies to maintain order and compliance within their jurisdiction, as they must ensure that any criminal behaviors are dealt with in accordance with legal protocols rather than solely administratively.

Other options, such as penalizing with fines, handling the case internally, or issuing warnings, do not adequately address the seriousness of criminal infractions. They may be more appropriate for less severe violations, but not for issues implicating criminal law, which demand a thorough legal response.
