Section 785:25-11-4 - Procedures for penalty assessment

(a) The notice of proposed assessment of administrative penalties shall specify a time, date and place for a hearing.

(b) Failure of respondent to appear at the hearing shall be deemed to constitute an agreement with the imposition of the penalty in the amount proposed as set forth in the notice, and proposed findings, conclusions and order shall not be prepared in that instance. The Board and respondent may also agree to an informal disposition of the matter. In either situation, the matter shall be presented to the Board for consideration of entering a final order assessing the administrative penalty.

(c) The administrative penalty is due and payable immediately upon issuance of the final order, unless otherwise provided therein.

(d) If the Board believes that violations are continuing after issuance of the administrative penalty order, it may seek the issuance of additional orders to assess penalties occurring in the period after issuance of the previous assessment orders.
