The secretary, or any person authorized to act in his or her behalf, shall initiate
enforcement of civil penalties imposed in KRS Chapters 336, 337, and 339.
Any civil penalty imposed pursuant to KRS Chapter 336, 337, or 339 may be
compromised by the secretary or the secretary's designated representative. In
determining the amount of the penalty or the amount agreed upon in
compromise, the secretary, or the secretary's designated representative, shall
consider the appropriateness of the penalty to the size of the business of the
person charged, the gravity of the violation, the number of times the person
charged has been cited, and the good faith of the person charged in attempting
to achieve compliance, after notification of the violation.
If a civil penalty is imposed pursuant to this section, a citation shall be issued
which describes the violation which has occurred and states the penalty for the
violation. If, within fifteen (15) working days from the receipt of the citation, the
affected party fails to pay the penalty imposed, the secretary, or any person
authorized to act in his or her behalf, shall initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty. The civil action shall be taken in the court which has jurisdiction over
the location in which the violation occurred.
