New Jersey Statutes, Title: 45, PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 15: License required.
Section: 45:15-16.46: Violations by brokers, salespeople; fines, penalties
a. Any broker or salesperson who violates any of the provisions of this act shall, in addition to the penalties set forth herein, be subject to the penalties as set forth in R.S.45:15-17.
b. Any person who violates any provision of this act or any person who, in an application for registration filed with the commission, makes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact shall be fined not less than $250, nor more than $50,000, per violation.
c. The commission may levy and collect the penalties set forth in subsection b. of this section after affording the person alleged to be in violation of this act an opportunity to appear before the commission and to be heard personally or through counsel on the alleged violations and a finding by the commission that said person is guilty of the violation. When a penalty levied by the commission has not been satisfied within 30 days of the levy, the penalty may be sued for and recovered by, and in the name of, the commission in a summary proceeding pursuant to "the penalty enforcement law" (N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq.).
d. The commission may, in the interest of justice, compromise any civil penalty, if in its determination the gravity of the offense or offenses does not warrant the assessment of the full fine.
L.1989, c.239, s.20.
