a. A person appealing a civil administrative penalty or assessment levied in accordance with section 2 of P.L.1991, c.8 (C.58:10A-10.5), whether contested as a contested case pursuant to P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) or by appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall, as a condition of filing the appeal, post with the delegated local agency a refundable bond, or other security approved by the delegated local agency, in the amount of the civil administrative penalty or assessment levied pursuant to a civil administrative hearing. If the civil administrative penalty or assessment is upheld in whole or in part, the delegated local agency shall be entitled to a daily interest charge on the amount of the judgment from the date of the posting of the security with the commissioner until that amount is paid in full.

The rate of interest shall be that authorized pursuant to subsection a. of this section.
c. Any person who fails to pay a civil administrative penalty or assessment, in whole or in part, when due and owing, or who fails to agree to a payment schedule therefor, shall be subject to the civil penalty provisions of subsection e. of section 10 of P.L.1977, c.74 (C.58:10A-10).

(1) may be collected or enforced by summary proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the "penalty enforcement law," (N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq.); or
(2) shall constitute a debt of the violator, and the civil administrative penalty may be docketed with the clerk of the Superior Court, and shall have the same standing as any judgment docketed pursuant to N.J.S.2A:16-1.
