6-132. Violation of title; civil penalty
The superintendent may assess a civil penalty in an amount of not more than five
thousand dollars against a person, including any officer, director, employee, agent or
other person who participates in the conduct of the affairs of the person, for any
knowing violation of any provision of this title or of any rule or order adopted or
issued pursuant to this title. If the assessment is not paid in full within thirty days
after the service of the notice of the assessment on the person, the attorney general, on
request of the superintendent, shall bring an action in the superior court in the county
in which a violation of this section is alleged to have occurred in the same manner as
the filing of other actions. On the finding of a knowing violation of this section by
the defendant in any such action, the court may enforce the civil penalty imposed by the
superintendent or may impose a different civil penalty in an amount as it deems
appropriate for each violation. Each day of violation constitutes a separate offense.
