§ 71-3303. Civil and administrative sanctions.

1. Any person who violates any provision of, or fails to perform any

duty imposed by article forty-three of this chapter or any rule or

regulation promulgated pursuant thereto, or any term or condition of any

certificate or permit issued pursuant thereto, or any final

determination or order of the Lake George park commission made pursuant

to article forty-three of this chapter shall be liable for a civil

penalty not to exceed five hundred dollars for each such violation and

an additional penalty of five hundred dollars for each day during which

such violation continues, to be assessed by the Lake George park

commission after an opportunity to be heard, or by the court in any

action or proceeding initiated by the attorney general in the name of

the Lake George park commission. In addition thereto, such person may,

by similar process, be enjoined from continuing such violation, and any

permit or certificate issued to such person may be revoked or suspended,

or a pending renewal application denied based upon such violation.

2. Such civil penalty may be released or compromised by the Lake

George park commission before the matter has been referred to the

attorney general; and, where such matter has been referred to the

attorney general, any such penalty may be released or compromised and

any action commenced to recover the same may be settled and discontinued

by the attorney general with the consent of the Lake George park

commission.
