- (b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the registry may, in lieu of filing the petition through the attorney general and reporter, retain private outside counsel to pursue the collection of unpaid civil penalties assessed by order of the registry. The venue for such a suit is the county in which the defendant resides.
