201A.10 VIOLATIONS.
1. A person violating this chapter or rules adopted by the
department under this chapter is guilty of a simple misdemeanor.
2. The department shall provide for the prosecution of a
violation of this chapter by referring the violation to the county
attorney in the county where the violation occurs. The department
shall compile evidence of the violation for prosecution. The county
attorney shall prosecute any case determined by the county attorney
to be meritorious without delay. The department shall not refer a
violation to the county attorney until the department provides the
person subject to the violation with an opportunity to be heard by
the department according to procedures adopted by the department. A
right to a hearing is not a contested case proceeding as provided in
chapter 17A. The department is not required to refer a minor
violation to a county attorney, and may instead issue a warning to
the person subject to the minor violation. Section History: Recent Form
