32:23-89. Civil penalties
The commission may maintain a civil action on behalf of the State against any person who violates or attempts or conspires to violate any provision of the compact or who fails, omits or neglects to obey, observe or comply with any order or direction of the commission, to recover a judgment for a money penalty not exceeding $500.00 for each and every offense. Every violation of any such provision, order or direction shall be a separate and distinct offense, and, in case of a continuing violation, every day's continuance shall be and be deemed to be a separate and distinct offense. Any such action may be compromised or discontinued on application of the commission upon such terms as the court may approve and a judgment may be rendered for an amount less than the amount demanded in the complaint as justice may require.
