(a) If the operator does not appeal an order, if the operator does not timely seek judicial review of a decision affirming or modifying an order within the time provided in Section 3354, or if the operator has timely sought and obtained judicial review and the court has affirmed the decision, then any charge, including penalty and interest, that the decision permits the supervisor to impose on the operator for work performed by the supervisor or the supervisor’s agents, and any civil penalties imposed under Section 3236.5 shall constitute a state tax lien against the real and personal property of the operator pursuant to Section 3423.
(b) In addition to a state tax lien, the supervisor may apply to the appropriate superior court for a clerk’s judgment. The application, which shall include a certified copy of the final agency order or decision, shall constitute a sufficient showing to warrant the issuance of the judgment. The court clerk shall enter the judgment immediately in conformity with the application. The judgment so entered shall have the same force and effect as, and shall be subject to all the provisions of law relating to, a judgment in a civil action, and may be enforced in the same manner as any other judgment of the court.
(Amended by Stats. 2016, Ch. 274, Sec. 7. (AB 2756) Effective January 1, 2017.)
