5:2A-12 - Docketing as judgment - New Jersey Statutes

5:2A-12.     Docketing as judgment     Upon the failure of any person to comply within 10 days after service of any board order directing payment of penalties or restoration of moneys, the Attorney General or the commissioner may, after an opportunity for a hearing has been provided pursuant to subsection b. of section 7 of this act, issue a certificate to the Clerk of the Superior Court that the person is indebted to the State for the payment of that penalty or the restoration of moneys. A copy of that certificate shall be served upon the person against whom the order was entered.  Thereupon the clerk shall immediately enter upon his record of docketed judgments the name of the person so indebted and of the State, a designation of the statute under which the penalty is imposed, the amount of the penalty imposed, or the amount of moneys ordered restored, and the date of the certification.  Such an entry shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a docketed judgment in the Superior Court, and the Attorney General shall have all rights and remedies of a judgment creditor in addition to exercising all other available remedies.
