3.

Any penalty incurred under this section may be recovered with costs, and, if applicable, interest charges, in a summary proceeding pursuant to the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.). The Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development shall ensure compliance with the requirement provided in section 2 of P.L.2019, c.38 (C.27:26A-16) and may issue citations for violations as provided for in this section.
