(a) Any person who violates any of the provisions of this act or rules and regulations issued pursuant to this act, or who violates any order of the secretary issued pursuant to this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $500 or by imprisonment not to exceed six months or by both such fine and imprisonment, and in addition thereto, may be enjoined from continuing such violation. Each day of such violation shall constitute a separate violation.

If any violation is a continuing one, each day of such violation shall constitute a separate violation for the purpose of computing the applicable civil penalty. The secretary shall have the power to compromise, mitigate or remit such penalties. Whenever the secretary proposes to subject a person to the imposition of a civil penalty under the provisions of this section the secretary shall follow the procedures contained in subsection (b) of K.S.A. 48-1608, and amendments thereto.
Any action by the secretary pursuant to this section is subject to review in accordance with the Kansas judicial review act.
