COMMENT: This section provides penalties for “this Chapter.” There are penalty sections contained in each of the other articles, where appropriate. They have not been repealed. However, the Compiler cannot presume that repeal by implication was intended, or that this reference to “this Chapter” is in error. Rather, the Compiler presumes that the Legislature intended to create an additional penalty scheme covering the entire Chapter, while leaving intact specific penalties in each article, to be used where appropriate.
