  • (a)

    If the local liquor control commissioner shall find a licensee guilty of violating any provision of this chapter, he may order the licensee to pay to the village any one or more of the following:

    (1)

    A fine not to exceed $1,000.00 for each violation. Each day on which a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. Not more than $10,000.00 in fines under this chapter may be imposed against any licensee during the period of his license;

    (2)

    Reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the village and/or the local liquor control commissioner; and

    (3)

    Reasonable costs, including court reporter's fees incurred at the hearing.

    These remedies shall be in addition to all other remedies and penalties available to the village or the local liquor control commissioner, both at law or in equity and not in lieu thereof. Any penalties, costs or fees assessed under this section shall be payable upon the order of the local liquor control commissioner unless notice of appeal has been filed by the licensee, in which case payment is stayed until the final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

    (b)

    In addition to the penalties provided by subsection (a) of this section as to licensees under this chapter, any person, other than a licensee, who violates any provision of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $25.00 and not more than $750.00, and/or by a requirement that the person perform some reasonable public service work such as, but not limited to, the picking up of litter in public parks or along public highways or the maintenance of public facilities.
