Provides that a person who sells a device or performs a service without being properly licensed under this Act shall be required to pay a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for each offense, in addition to any other penalty provided by law. Provides that the person must be given an opportunity for a hearing prior to final action by the Department. Provides that the civil penalty must be paid within 30 days after the order becomes final. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Nuclear Safety) The number of unlicensed practice cases that may occur in any given year is impossible to determine, but a realistic estimate would be 5 to 10 cases per year. The maximum penalty that the Department could assess under this bill is $5,000 per viola- tion. The estimated total amount of penalties assessed in any single year would be $5,000 to $25,000. The Department's effort in manpower and other costs will not change significantly from the current efforts used in dealing with these cases. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.
