LRGAL 7.
                         SANCTIONS.


The committee shall have the authority to issue a written
admonishment, issue a written reprimand, refer the guardian
ad litem to additional testing, recommend to the presiding judge
either that the court, on its own motion, remove the guardian
ad litem from the instant case, or that the presiding judge suspend
or remove the guardian ad litem from the registry.  In considering
a sanction, the committee shall take into consideration any prior
complaints which resulted in an admonishment, reprimand, referral to
training, removal of the guardian ad litem from a particular case,
or suspension or removal from a registry.  If a guardian ad litem is
listed on more than one registry, at the discretion of the committee,
the suspension or removal may apply to each registry on which the
guardian ad litem is listed.  When a guardian ad litem is removed
from a registry pursuant to the disposition of a grievance, the court
shall send notice of such removal to the state Administrative Office
of the Courts (AOC).
