2006 Alabama Code - Section 37-2-45 — Recovery of penalties or forfeitures.

A civil action to recover the forfeitures provided for in this chapter may be brought at any time within two years from the date the offense was committed or forfeiture was incurred in the name of the State of Alabama, in any court of competent jurisdiction in any county in which the transportation company is engaged in business. In such action any number of forfeitures incurred up to the time of commencing the same and not previously recovered may be sued for and recovered, or separate actions may be brought for each penalty or forfeiture, and the commencement of an action to recover a forfeiture shall not be, or be deemed to be, a waiver of the right to recover any other forfeitures.
