PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

Unprofessional conduct or certain sexual activities can lead the Board to refuse issuing a license to an applicant because it goes against the standards of professionalism and ethical conduct expected in the field. Minor administrative errors (option A) may delay the application process, but they would not necessarily lead to a refusal of the license. Failure to pay the application fee on time (option C) may also cause a delay or penalty, but it would not be grounds for refusal of the license. Lack of references (option D) may also delay the process, but it would not be a reason for outright refusal unless it is a requirement for the particular license being applied for. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
