  of the charge or charges on the basis of the evidence in the record before it. (b)(1) If a majority of the members of the Board present and voting find that the individual
  complained against committed unprofessional conduct as specified in one or more of

  for each act that constitutes an unprofessional conduct violation. (B) Any monies received from the imposition of an administrative penalty imposed pursuant

  shall detail the receipts of administrative penalties and the purposes for which such
  monies were used. (c) If the Board finds the individual complained against not guilty of the charge or charges,
  or the charges against the individual are dismissed, the Board shall promptly order
  a dismissal of the charges and issue a statement that the charges were not proved. (d) Any order issued by the Board under this section shall be in full force and effect
