(a) If an action for compliance with the terms of a contract is stayed under this subtitle, a fine or penalty does not accrue because of failure to comply with the terms of the contract during the period of the stay.

(2) the fine or penalty was incurred during the period that the person was a person in emergency management service or person suffering injury or damage; and
