§ 8016. Rulemaking

The secretary, in consultation with the land use panel, shall adopt rules defining classes of violations and an appropriate range of administrative penalties to be assessed for each class of violation. The classes of violation and range of penalties shall take into account the degree of potential impact on public health, safety, and welfare and the environment resulting from the violation. No administrative penalty may be assessed as part of an administrative order pursuant to this chapter until applicable rules and procedures have been adopted.
