PENALTIES (§ 58.1-2709)

The Department may, after a hearing had upon notice, duly served not less than
ten days prior to the date set for such hearing, impose a penalty, which shall
be in addition to any other penalty imposed by this chapter, not exceeding
$2,500, upon any licensed motor carrier violating any provision of this chapter
or the IFTA, or failing to comply with IFTA or any regulation of the Department
promulgated pursuant to this chapter. Each such failure or violation shall
constitute a separate offense. The penalty shall be collectible by the process
of the Department as provided by law. Any person against whom an order or
decision of the Commissioner has been adversely rendered relating to the tax
imposed by this chapter may, within fifteen days of such order or decision,

Richmond. In addition to imposing such penalty, or without imposing any penalty,
the Department may suspend or revoke any certificate, permit or other evidence
of right issued by the Department which the motor carrier holds.
