In plain language
Costs and fines. The Commission may charge back all the administrative costs it incurs under 11A:4-5, the section on using an eligible list. Beyond that it may assess other costs, charges and fines up to ten thousand dollars for noncompliance with the title or with any Commission order. The ceiling applies only to this section. 11A:10-1, which recovers a disapproved salary and can reach the personal funds of whoever authorized it, says in terms that this figure does not limit it.
