(a) Whenever the burning under permit has been suspended , restricted, or prohibited by proclamation pursuant to Section 4423.1, the officer having jurisdiction may issue a restricted temporary burning permit in instances in which the continuation of burning may be essential for reasons of public health, safety, or welfare. The permit may stipulate any special precautions that are required to be followed to reduce the risk of uncontrolled fire originating from the operation.
(b) Violation of the terms of a restricted temporary burning permit is a misdemeanor, and any person upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250). No part of the fine shall be suspended. The court may permit the fine prescribed by this section to be paid in installments if the court determines that the defendant is unable to pay the fine in one lump sum.
