(c) Notwithstanding the prosecuting attorney's decision regarding intervention in an action brought by a plaintiff under section15C.05, the prosecuting attorney may pursue the claim through any alternate remedy available to the state, including an administrative proceeding to determine a civil monetary penalty. If the prosecuting attorney pursues an alternate remedy in another proceeding, the person initiating the action has the same rights in that proceeding as if the action had continued under section15C.05. A finding of fact or conclusion of law made in the other proceeding that has become final is conclusive on all parties to an action under section15C.05. For purposes of this paragraph, a finding or conclusion is final if it has been finally determined on appeal to the appropriate state court, if the time for filing an appeal has expired, or if the finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
