violates or fails to comply with any final order, decision, rule or regulation
duly issued by the commission pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to a
civil penalty of not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) for each day that
the violation continues.
    Actions to recover penalties under this act shall be brought in the name
of the state of Idaho, in the district court in and for the county in which
the cause of action or some part thereof arose, or in which the corporation
complained of, if any, has its principal place of business, or in which the
person, if any, complained of, resides. Such action shall be commenced and
prosecuted to final judgment by the attorney for the commission. In any such
action, all penalties incurred up to the time of commencing the same may be
sued for and recovered. In all such action, the procedure and rules of
evidence shall be the same as in ordinary civil actions, except as otherwise
herein provided. All fines and penalties recovered by the state in any such
action, together with the costs thereof, shall be paid into the state treasury
to the credit of the general account. Any such action may be compromised or
discontinued on application of the commission upon such terms as the court
shall approve and order.
