 14.3 Administrative Penalty/Fine. In assessing a penalty, the Commissioner shall
consider the degree of actual and potential impact on public health, safety, and welfare
resulting from the violation; the number of people affected by the violation; whether or
not the violation was corrected after notification of its existence; the economic benefit
gained by the violation; the deterrent effect of the penalty; and whether the park owner
has been fined for the same or similar violations in the past. Standard penalties shall be
based on a schedule maintained by the Department, which shall be made available to the
public upon request.

14.4 Decision. At the close of the evidence the Commissioner shall issue a written
decision, which shall include, at a minimum, the following:

a) Findings of fact relevant to each alleged violation;
b) Conclusion of law regarding each alleged violation;
c) Amount of the penalty imposed for each violation;
d) Date on which the penalty is due; and
e) Instructions to the park owner on where to file any appeal and the applicable
time limits.

14.5 Collection. The Department may collect an unpaid administrative penalty by
filing a civil collection action in any superior court, or through any other means available
to state agencies, after the time for filing an appeal has expired.
