II. In lieu of revoking or suspending the license for any of the causes stated in paragraph I, after hearing as provided in paragraph III, the commissioner may subject such company to a penalty of not more than $1,500 for each offense when, in his judgment, he finds that the public interest would not be harmed by the continued operation of such company.
