Any person violating any of the terms of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars and not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for a period of not less than thirty days and not more than six months, or both, in the discretion of the court.
