§ 3.1-106.17. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Violations

A. The Commissioner or his agent shall determine from the examination of any regulated product if this chapter, or the regulations issued hereunder, have been violated. The Commissioner or his agent shall give notice of the violation to the registrant or the licensee responsible for the regulated product, as the case may be, and may give notice to the distributor from whom the Commissioner or his agent sampled the regulated product.

B. Any person convicted of violating any of the provisions of this chapter or the regulations issued hereunder shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor.

C. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as requiring the Commissioner or his agent to report for prosecution, or for the institution of seizure proceedings, where the Commissioner considers the violations of the chapter to be minor. In such cases, the Commissioner may serve a suitable notice of warning in writing, when he believes that the public interest will be best served by so doing.

D. The Commissioner is hereby authorized to apply for, and the court to grant, a temporary or permanent injunction restraining any person from violating, or continuing to violate, this chapter or any regulation promulgated under this chapter, notwithstanding the existence of other remedies at law.
