violating any provision of the Oklahoma Asbestos Control Act or

violating any order or determination of the Commissioner. In any

action for injunction, any finding of the Commissioner, after

notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts found therein.

C. A district attorney, upon request of the Commissioner, shall

prosecute any violation of the Oklahoma Asbestos Control Act.

D. The Commissioner of Labor may promulgate rules establishing

a schedule of administrative penalties and fines for violations of

lieu of the criminal penalties provided in this section. The

promulgation of an administrative fine schedule shall grant the

Commissioner authority to impose those administrative fines for any

violation of the Oklahoma Asbestos Control Act. Funds collected as

payment from a violator for administrative fines imposed for a

violation of the Oklahoma Asbestos Control Act shall be deposited to

the Department of Labor Administrative Penalty Revolving Fund

created in Section 3 of this act.
