The cases, however, have not suggested that an order for monetary recovery per se is of such character that it may be made only by a court. In practice, our administrative agencies commonly order money reparations, as when restitution is imposed as a probationary term on a licensee (e.g., Russell v. Miller (1943) 21 Cal.2d 817, 818 [136 P.2d 318] [electrical contractor's license suspended "until defendant makes restitution" to his client "satisfactory to the Registrar of Contractors"]; American Funeral Concepts v. Board of Funeral Directors & Embalmers (1982) 136 Cal. App.3d 303, 308 [186 Cal. Rptr. 196] [license conditionally revoked; licensee subject to 300-day suspension on condition it make restitution]), and we have referred to the exercise of such power with apparent approval. (Youst v. Longo, supra, 43 Cal.3d 64, 82, fn. 15 ["We do not mean to imply that the Board is *363 without authority to require compensatory relief as a condition for reinstatement of licenses."].)[11]
