(a) The department shall conduct risk-based inspections that prioritize inspections based on key risk factors identified by the department, including:
(1) whether a license holder has previously violated a law establishing a regulatory program administered by the department or a rule or order of the commission or executive director; and
(2) the number of violations committed by a license holder.
(b) The department may use alternative inspection methods, including the use of videoconference technology or other methods instead of conducting an in-person inspection, in circumstances the department considers appropriate.
