(a) Whoever violates Ohio R.C. 3707.48 or any order or regulation made in pursuance thereof is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on each subsequent offense such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. Punishment shall be as provided in Section 698.02 of the General Offenses Code. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation or noncompliance occurs or continues.
(b) Whoever violates Ohio R.C. 3709.20 or 3709.22 or any order or regulation of the Board adopted in pursuance of such sections, or interferes with the execution of such an order or regulation by a member of the Board or person authorized by the Board, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisoned not more than ninety days or both. No person shall be imprisoned for the first offense, and the prosecution shall always be for a first offense unless the affidavit upon which the prosecution is instituted contains the allegation that the offense is a subsequent offense. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation or noncompliance occurs or continues.
Except in case of an emergency endangering the public health caused by an epidemic, an infectious or a communicable disease, or a disaster emergency condition or event, no prosecution for violation of any regulation or order adopted pursuant to 3709.20 or 3709.22 shall take place until twenty days after the Board has notified the person subject to such regulation or order of the specific violation alleged. Any person notified by the Board of a violation of any such regulation or order may file an action for declaratory judgment pursuant to Ohio R.C. 2721.01 to 2721.15, inclusive, to have determined whether such regulation or order is unreasonable or unlawful. No such prosecution shall be commenced when, within such twenty-day period, the violation has been corrected. No such prosecution shall be commenced until such a declaratory judgment has been given.
(c) When an order of the Board made pursuant to Ohio R.C. 3707.01 or 3709.20 is not complied with in whole or in part, the Board may petition the court of common pleas for injunctive or other appropriate relief requiring all persons to whom such order of the Board is directed to comply with such order.
(d) A corporation shall, for any violation, obstruction, interference, or omission mentioned in Ohio R.C. 3707.48, forfeit and pay to the City a sum not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300.00), to be collected in a civil action brought in the name of the Board. No proof of actual damages shall be required, but the court or jury, finding other facts to justify recovery, shall determine the amount by reference to all the facts, culpatory, exculpatory, or extenuating, adduced upon the trial.
