§ 34:5a-10.

The local health agency for the jurisdiction in which the public or private school

or child care center is located shall enforce the provisions of this act. Whenever, on the basis of information available, a local health agency finds that

a person has violated any of the provisions of P.L.1997, c. 364 ( C.34:5A-10.1 et seq. ), the local health agency may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction

to impose a civil penalty for that violation. Any person who violates any provision of this act shall be subject, upon order of

a court, to a civil penalty not to exceed $2,500 for each day during which the violation

continues. Any penalty imposed pursuant to this section may be collected, and any costs incurred

in connection therewith may be recovered, in a summary proceeding pursuant to “the

penalty enforcement law” ( N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq. ). The Superior Court shall have jurisdiction to enforce “the penalty enforcement law.”
