45:14D-23 Violation of cease and desist order.

13. When it shall appear to the director or the Attorney General that a person against whom a cease and desist order has been entered has violated the order, the director or the Attorney General may initiate a summary proceeding in the Superior Court for the violation thereof. Any person found to have violated a cease and desist order shall pay to the State of New Jersey civil penalties in the amount of not more than $25,000.00 for each violation of the order. If a person fails to pay a civil penalty assessed by the court for violation of a cease and desist order, the court assessing the unpaid penalty is authorized, upon application of the director or the Attorney General, to grant any relief which may be obtained under any statute or court rule governing the collection and enforcement of penalties.
