Thank you, Chair.
This amendment would reduce the tools that are at the disposal of the commissioner to administer under the proposed act.
As it's currently written, the act has three levels of scalable enforcement mechanisms, from issuing notices to levying fines and then finally referring the case to law enforcement authorities. Removing this would remove that middle step. It would go from issuing notices all the way to criminal prosecutions with no intermediate step in between.
I'd like to hear what the officials have to say on this step as well.
