12. Upon the failure of any person to comply within 10 days after service of any order of the director directing payment of penalties or restoration of moneys or property, the Attorney General or the director may issue a certificate to the Clerk of the Superior Court that the person is indebted to the State for the payment of the penalty and the moneys or property ordered restored. A copy of the certificate shall be served upon the person against whom the order was entered. Thereupon the clerk shall immediately enter upon his record of docketed judgments the name of the person so indebted and of the State, a designation of the statute under which the penalty is imposed, the amount of the penalty imposed, and amount of moneys ordered restored, a listing of property ordered restored, and the date of the certification. The entry shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a docketed judgment in the Superior Court, and the Attorney General shall have all rights and remedies of a judgment creditor, in addition to exercising any other available remedies. The entry, however, shall be without prejudice to the right of appeal to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court from the director’s order.
An action to enforce the provisions of an order entered by the director or to collect a penalty levied thereby may be brought in any municipal or Special Civil Part of the Law Division of the Superior Court or the Superior Court in a summary manner pursuant to the “Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999,” P.L.1999, c.274 (C. 2A:58-10 et seq.) and the rules of court governing the collection of civil penalties. Process in the action shall be by summons or warrant, and if the defendant fails to answer the action, the court shall issue a warrant for the defendant’s arrest for the purpose of bringing the person before the court to satisfy any order entered.
