(2) If the director or commissioner is of the opinion that the violation is not willful, or is an oversight or of a trivial nature, the director or commissioner may at the director’s or commissioner’s discretion fix a time within which the violation shall be corrected and notify the owner, operator, superintendent, or person in charge.
