Operative words

The department may promulgate rules to adopt a schedule of monetary civil penalties, not to exceed $1,000.00 for each violation or day that a violation continues, which may be assessed for a specified violation of this code or a rule promulgated or an order issued under this code and which the department has the authority and duty to enforce.

Penalty

Civil fine up to $1,000 per violation or per day

What it required

Authorized civil fines of up to $1,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation of an MDHHS order, assessed by citation issued at the time or within 90 days of discovery (subsection (2)); the MDHHS orders recited that 'violations of this order are also punishable by a civil fine of up to $1,000 for each violation or day that a violation continues' (Ex. MI-060 sec. 8(h)).

Retrieval note

The civil-fine schedule applicable to the epidemic orders was adopted by MDHHS emergency rule (referenced in the orders as 'any rule or emergency rule promulgated and adopted in a schedule of monetary civil penalties under MCL 333.2262(1)'); the rule itself is not in the library.
