§ 59A-51-16 — Administrative fine in lieu

A. The superintendent may, in the superintendent's discretion, in lieu of license suspension, revocation or refusal, and except on a second offense, impose upon the licensee an administrative penalty of one hundred dollars ($100), or, if the superintendent has found wilful misconduct or wilful violation on the part of the licensee, an administrative penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). B. The superintendent may allow the licensee a reasonable period, not to exceed thirty days, within which to pay to superintendent the amount of the penalty so imposed. If the licensee fails to pay the penalty in its entirety to the superintendent within the period so allowed, the license of the licensee shall stand suspended or revoked, or continuation refused, as the case may be, upon expiration of such period and without any further proceedings.
