      (b) Any person convicted of violating any provision of this chapter or any regulation issued thereunder shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars.

      (c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as requiring the commissioner or his representative to report for prosecution or for the institution of seizure proceedings minor violations of this chapter when he believes that the public interests will be best served by a suitable notice of warning in writing.

      (d) Each prosecuting officer to whom any violation is reported shall cause appropriate proceedings to be instituted and prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction without delay.

      (e) The commissioner may apply for and any court of competent jurisdiction may grant a temporary or permanent injunction restraining any person from violating or continuing to violate any provision of this chapter or any regulation promulgated thereunder notwithstanding the existence of other remedies at law. Such injunction shall be issued without bond.
