Any person who violates any provision of this subchapter commits a civil violation for which a forfeiture of not less than $200 shall be adjudged.

In such a case the commissioner shall issue a written warning. [1979, c. 491, §1 (NEW).]
The commissioner may apply for a temporary or permanent injunction restraining any person from violating or continuing to violate this subchapter, notwithstanding the existence of other remedies at law.
