Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-1701.1A

Orders - Penalties.

A. In addition to any other remedies provided for by law, the

Department, pursuant to rules and regulations, may issue a written

order to any person whom the Department has reason to believe is

presently in violation of any standards or rules promulgated by the

State Board of Health and to whom the Department has served, no less

than fifteen (15) days previously, a written notice of violation of

such standards or rules. The fifteen-day notice period may be

reduced as, in the opinion of the Department, may be necessary to

render the order reasonably effectual.

B. The written order may require compliance with such standards

or rules immediately or within a specified time period or both. The

order may also assess an administrative fine for each day or part of

a day that such person fails to comply with the order.

C. Any order issued pursuant to this section shall state with

specificity the nature of the violation. Any penalty assessed in

the order shall not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per day

of noncompliance with the order. In assessing such a penalty, the

Department shall consider the seriousness of the violation and any

efforts to comply with applicable requirements.

D. Any order issued pursuant to the provisions of this section

shall become a final order unless, no later than fifteen (15) days

after the order is served, the person or persons named therein

request an administrative hearing. Upon such request the Department

shall promptly conduct the hearing. The Department shall dismiss

such proceedings where compliance with the order is demonstrated. A

final order following a hearing may assess an administrative fine of

an amount based upon consideration of the evidence but not exceeding

the amount stated in the written order.

E. Such orders and hearings are subject to the Administrative

Procedures Act.
