Sec.22a-6b-11. Assessment of administrative civil penalty—resolution of penalty notice prior to completion of settlement conference

To encourage early resolution of a penalty notice, if the respondent demonstrates to the commissioner's satisfaction that the respondent has, prior to completion of the settlement conference, either corrected a violation alleged in such penalty notice, or agreed to and is in compliance with a final order from the commissioner to correct such violation, the assessed penalty for such violation shall be reduced by 20%, provided that the respondent has, prior to completion of the settlement conference, waived its right to a hearing on all parts of the penalty notice pertaining to such violation and remitted payment of the associated administrative civil penalty for such violation. The total penalty reduction granted under this section for a single penalty notice shall not exceed $20,000.
