In accordance with regulations adopted by the department under AS 44.62.010 - 44.62.300, the department may assess and collect, with interest, a civil fine of up to $10,000 a day for each day a nursing facility is or was out of compliance with any of the federal or state statutes or regulations listed in AS 18.20.310. The department shall annually increase the maximum amount of the civil fine authorized in this section by a percentage equal to the percentage of increase in all items of the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers for Anchorage, Alaska. Each day upon which the same or a substantially similar noncompliance occurs is a separate violation subject to the assessment of a separate civil fine. A civil fine assessed under this section is not reimbursable under AS 47.07 or AS 47.25.120 - 47.25.300. The department shall deduct the amount of a civil fine from reimbursement due or to be due the nursing facility under AS 47.07 or AS 47.25.120 - 47.25.300. The department may also use any remedy available under law to pursue collection of an unpaid fine.
