Except as authorized by rule of the department, no person may sign a mileage disclosure statement as both the transferor and transferee in the same transaction.

(c) The department shall promulgate rules that do all of the following:

(4)(a) Except as provided in par. (b), any person who violates this section may be required to forfeit not more than $1,000.
