Any person who violates any provisions of this chapter is guilty of a class B misdemeanor
except that a violation of section 54-05.1-02 or 54-05.1-03 is an infraction. Whether a person is
subjected to criminal prosecution under this section, and in addition to the registration fee that
may be assessed when the person submits the registration to the secretary of state, the person
may be assessed a civil penalty by the secretary of state, following written notice to the person
of an intent to assess the penalty, in an amount not to exceed two times the amount set forth in
subdivision e of subsection 1 of section 54-05.1-03 which is chargeable to a lobbyist. Any civil
penalty must be assessed and collected before a person is issued a certificate of registration.
The assessment of a civil penalty may be appealed to the district court of the person's county of
residence or Burleigh County, but only on the basis that the secretary of state's administrative
determination that the person acted as a lobbyist when not registered as a lobbyist was clearly
erroneous.
