Section 12880.3.
12880.3. (a) A person who violates a provision of this part is liable to the state for a civil penalty to be determined by the commissioner, not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each violation, or, if the violation was willful, a civil penalty not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each violation. The commissioner may establish the acts that constitute a distinct violation for purposes of this section. However, when the issuance, amendment, or servicing of a policy or endorsement is inadvertent, all of those acts constitute a single violation for purposes of this section.
(b) The penalty imposed by this section shall be imposed by and determined by the commissioner pursuant to Section 12880.4. The penalty imposed by this section is appealable by means of any remedy provided by Section 12940 or by Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
