The State Board of Control, with the approval of the Attorney General, is hereby authorized and empowered to compromise and settle claims for money penalties in appropriate circumstances where it appears to the satisfaction of the board that payment of the full penalty will work severe hardship on any individual not having sufficient financial ability to pay the full penalty, but in no case shall the penalty be compromised for a sum less than $200.00 for the first offense and $500.00 for the second and each subsequent offense; provided, however, that any penalty of less than $200.00 or $500.00 as the case may be, may be compromised for a lesser sum.

Money penalties assessed prior to the filing of an appeal to the appellate court or courts shall be recoverable only to the extent that the appellate court or courts affirms the decision of the department in the first instance.
