§70i Criminal penalty

Summary

If a person on purpose does something that sections 70a, 70c, 70d, 70g, or 70h(b) say is illegal, they are guilty of a misdemeanor and, if convicted, can be fined up to $5,000, put in jail for up to one year, or both, at the court’s choice. That does not stop other rules in the same part of the law from also applying. If the Commission thinks someone committed such a misdemeanor, it can send the relevant facts to the Attorney General. If the Attorney General agrees, they must start the legal action to enforce the law.
