In addition to or in lieu of any other penalty or remedy provided by law, the Attorney General may seek a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $20,000 against any wholesale dealer or nonparticipating manufacturer that makes a certification pursuant to this chapter or chapter 370A of NRS which asserts the truth of any material matter that the wholesale dealer or nonparticipating manufacturer knows to be false or inaccurate. Any civil penalty collected pursuant to this section must be deposited in the Account for Tobacco Enforcement. If such a civil penalty is not paid within 30 days after it is imposed against:
1. A wholesale dealer, the license of the wholesale dealer may be suspended or revoked.
2. A nonparticipating manufacturer, the nonparticipating manufacturer and the brand families of the nonparticipating manufacturer may be denied listing in the directory or removed from the directory.
