New Jersey Statutes Title 17. Corporations and Institutions for Finance and Insurance 17 § 29AA-26

In addition to any other penalty or forfeiture provided by law, the commissioner may, if he finds that any person, partnership, association, corporation, insurer, or rating organization has willfully violated any provision of this act, impose a penalty of not less than $25.00 nor more than $500.00 for each violation. No such penalty shall be imposed, except upon at least 10 days' written notice to such person, partnership, association, corporation, insurer, or rating organization, specifying the specific violation, and naming a date and place for a hearing on the violation so charged. If the commissioner shall find, upon the evidence placed before him at the hearing, that the person, partnership, association, corporation, insurer, or rating organization is guilty of any violation of the provisions of this act, he shall make an order briefly stating his findings, and specifying the penalty imposed. The imposition of such a penalty shall, in the case of a licensed broker, or agent, or in the case of a rating organization, automatically suspend the license of the broker or agent or rating organization until such time as the penalty shall be paid. The commissioner may file in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, a certificate stating the amount of any penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of this section, and the name of the person, partnership, association, corporation, insurer, or rating organization against whom or which the penalty has been assessed, and thereupon the Clerk of the Superior Court shall enter upon his record of docketed judgments the certificate, or an abstract thereof, and shall duly index the same. From the time of the docketing, the certificate shall have the same effect as a judgment obtained in the Superior Court, Law Division, and the commissioner shall have all remedies and may take all the proceedings for the collection thereof which may be had or taken upon the recovery of such a judgment.
