(a) For the penalties prescribed in Sections 43027 and 43028, each day during any portion of which a violation occurs is a separate offense.
(b) In applying penalties under Section 43027 or 43028 for violations based solely upon the state board’s review of monthly production records, each day within a month for which a violation occurs is a separate violation.
(c) The recovery of civil or administrative civil penalties pursuant to this chapter precludes prosecution pursuant to Section 43020 for the same offense. When the executive officer refers a violation to a prosecuting attorney, the filing of a criminal complaint is grounds requiring the dismissal of any civil action or administrative proceedings brought pursuant to this chapter for the same offense.
