in which the violation occurred, the penalty shall be five hundred dollars. (b) Order the camp to initiate a criminal records check of the person who is the subject

of the violation within a specified period of time. (3) If, within the specified period of time, the camp fails to comply with an order to

initiate a criminal records check of the person who is the subject of the violation

or to release the person from the appointment or employment, the director shall do

of the violation within a specified period of time. (C) If the director determines that a child day camp has violated division (B)(1) of

this section, the director may post a notice at a prominent place at the camp that

states that the camp has failed to conduct criminal records checks of its appointees
