PENALTIES FOR MISREPRESENTATIONS, VIOLATIONS OF LAW, REGULATIONS OR TERMS OF
CERTIFICATES (§ 56-265.6)

The Commission may, by its order duly entered after hearing, held after due
notice to the holder of any such certificate and an opportunity to such holder
to be heard, at which hearing it shall be proved that such holder has willfully
made a misrepresentation of a material fact in obtaining such certificate or has
willfully violated or refused to observe the laws of this State touching such
certificate or any of the terms of the certificate, or any of the
Commission&#8217;s proper orders, rules or regulations, impose a penalty not
exceeding $1,000, which may be collected by the process of the Commission as
provided by law; or the Commission may suspend, revoke, alter or amend any such
certificate for any of the causes set forth above. But no such certificate shall
be revoked, altered or amended (except upon application of the holder thereof)
unless the holder thereof shall wilfully fail to comply, within a reasonable
time to be fixed by the Commission, with the lawful order of the Commission or
with the lawful rule or regulation of the Commission, or with the term,
condition or limitation of such certificate, found by the Commission to have
been violated by such holder. No such certificate shall be suspended, revoked,
altered or amended for any cause not stated in this section.
		Proceedings looking to the imposition of any penalty provided for in this
section may be commenced upon the complaint of any person or upon the
Commission&#8217;s own initiative.
