The penalties shall be sued for and collected in a summary proceeding in accordance with the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.).
b. In addition to any civil penalties provided under this section, the commissioner may suspend or revoke a registration made pursuant to this act for a violation of any provision of this act.

The denial, suspension, or revocation shall become effective 30 days after mailing, unless the applicant or registrant, within the 30-day period, meets the requirements of the department or files with the department a written answer to the charges and gives written notice to the department of its desire for a hearing, in which case the denial, suspension, or revocation may be held in abeyance until the hearing has been concluded and a final decision rendered by the commissioner.
The commissioner shall afford the applicant or registrant an opportunity for a prompt hearing on the question of the granting, suspension, or revocation of the registration. The procedure governing the hearing shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the department.
