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 established by the New Jersey Supreme Court for interest rates on judgments, as set forth in the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey.

The rate of interest shall be that authorized pursuant to subsection a. of this section.

(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
