Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-2-18: Notice - Hearings - Penalties

A. After notice and opportunity for a hearing in accordance

with the Administrative Procedures Act, if the State Board of

Agriculture finds any person in violation of the Oklahoma

Agricultural Code or any rule promulgated or order issued pursuant

thereto, the Board shall have the authority to assess an

administrative penalty of not less than One Hundred Dollars

($100.00) and not more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) for

each violation. Each animal, each action, or each day a violation

continues may constitute a separate and distinct violation.

B. The Board may appoint administrative law judges to conduct

the hearings. Hearings shall be held at a location within the

region in which the alleged violator resides or the violation

occurred, or the central offices of the State Board of Agriculture

in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

C. Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of the

Oklahoma Agricultural Code or rules promulgated by the Board shall

be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor unless a violation of the Oklahoma

Agricultural Code or rules promulgated thereto is specifically

identified with a penalty or as a Class D3 felony offense in the

individual articles of the Oklahoma Agricultural Code. Any person

who violates the provisions of this subsection shall, upon

conviction, be guilty of a Class D3 felony offense and shall be

punished by imprisonment as provided for in subsections B through F

of Section 20P of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

D. Nothing in the Oklahoma Agricultural Code shall preclude the

Board from seeking penalties in district court in the maximum amount

allowed by law. The assessment of penalties in an administrative

enforcement proceeding shall not prevent the subsequent assessment

by a court of the maximum civil or criminal penalties for violations

of the Oklahoma Agricultural Code and rules promulgated pursuant

thereto.

E. Any person assessed an administrative or civil penalty may

be required to pay, in addition to the penalty amount and interest

thereon, attorney fees and costs associated with the collection of

the penalties.
