N.Y. Boxing, Sparring and Wrestling Ch. 912/20 § 16: Imposition of penalties for violations

* § 16. Imposition of penalties for violations. Any corporation,

person or persons, licensed under the provisions of this chapter, that

shall willfully violate any rule or order of the commission or any

provision of this chapter, in addition to any other penalty by law

prescribed, shall be liable to a civil penalty not to exceed ten

thousand dollars for the first offense and not to exceed twenty-five

thousand dollars for the second and each subsequent offense, to be

imposed by the commission, to be sued for by the attorney-general in the

name of the people of the state of New York if directed by the

commission. The amount of the penalty collected by the commission or

recovered in any such action, or paid to the commission upon a

compromise as hereinafter provided, shall be transmitted by the

department of state into the state treasury and credited to the general

fund. The commission, for cause shown, may extend the time for the

payment of such penalty and, by compromise, may accept less than the

amount of such penalty as imposed in settlement thereof. For the

purposes of this section, each transaction or statutory violation shall

constitute a separate offense, except that a second or subsequent

offense shall not be deemed to exist unless a decision has been rendered

in a prior, separate and independent proceeding.
