$100.00 per day for the first 6 days; and
$400.00 for the seventh day
2. Formal Complaints and Investigations Process: This process is typically used for more serious violations of the Rules not appropriate for the administrative process and includes repetitive violations such as repeatedly failing to file reports. This process is overseen by the Commission and may result in action in District Court in Oklahoma and penalties starting at $5, 000.
