Section 152.123. Inadequate records penalty.

  If any person fails to make the records required under s. Trans 152.11 available upon proper request or if any person fails to maintain adequate required records, the department may compute and assess upon the registrant an inadequate records penalty in addition to other penalties, taxes and fees. The IRP penalty assessment shall be computed as follows:

(1)  Upon the registrant's first refusal to make the required records available upon proper request or upon the department's first determination of inadequate maintenance of records, a penalty equal to 20% of the total registration fee for the period under review.

(2)  If the registrant was previously assessed an inadequate record penalty, then upon the registrant's refusal to make the required records available upon proper request or upon the department's determination of inadequate maintenance of records, a penalty equal to 50% of the total registration fee for the period under review.

(3)  If the registrant was previously assessed more than one inadequate record penalty, then upon the registrant's refusal to make the required records available upon proper request or upon the department's determination of inadequate maintenance of records, a penalty equal to 100% of the total registration fee for the period under review.
