1. (a) If the Board orders payment by the Fund of a claim based on an act or omission for which a licensee is responsible, the Board immediately and without further proceedings shall suspend the license of the licensee.

2. (b) The Board may not reinstate a license that is suspended under this section until the person whose license was suspended:

   1. (1) Repays in full:

      1. (i) The amount paid by the Fund; and
      2. (ii) The interest due under § 7-4A-12(a)(2) of this subtitle; and
   2. (2) Applies to the Board for reinstatement of the license.
3. (c) Regardless of whether the disciplinary sanction was imposed for the same act or omission that gave rise to the claim against the Fund, the reimbursement of the Fund by a licensee does not affect any sanction imposed by the Board against a person under the disciplinary provisions of §§ 7-316 through 7-320 of this title.
