In plain language

Ten thousand dollars is the ceiling on a fine. Where there is evidence of a violation of, or noncompliance with, Title 11A or these rules, the Commission conducts an investigatory hearing or other review as appropriate. The remedies come after that finding, not before it, and there are seven of them. The Commission may issue an order of compliance. It may assess costs, charges and fines not exceeding $10,000. It may order the appointment of an eligible from an outstanding list. In State service it may consolidate personnel functions. It may bring a civil action in the Superior Court, recommend criminal prosecution, or take other action allowed by law or rule. Salary disapproval runs on its own separate procedure.
