§19. Sale, etc. of illegal products prohibited
A. The sale, or acquisition, or the transportation, refining, processing, or handling in any other way, of illegal oil, illegal gas, or an illegal product is unlawful.
B. Unless and until the commissioner provides a method, by which a person may have an opportunity to determine whether a contemplated transaction or sale, or acquisition, or transportation, refining, processing, or handling in any other way, involves illegal oil, illegal gas, or illegal product, no penalty shall be imposed except under certain circumstances hereinafter stated. Penalties shall be imposed for the commission of each transaction prohibited in this Section when the transactor knows that illegal oil, illegal gas, or illegal product is involved or when he could have known by the exercise of reasonable diligence or from facts within his knowledge.
However, regardless of lack of actual notice or knowledge, penalties as provided in this Chapter shall apply to any sale, or acquisition, and to the transportation, refining, processing, or handling in any other way, of illegal oil, illegal gas, or illegal product, where administrative provision is made for identifying the character of the commodity as to its legality. It likewise shall be a violation for which penalties shall be imposed for any person to sell, or acquire or to transport, refine, process, or handle in any other way, any oil, gas, or product without complying with all applicable rules, regulations, or orders of the commissioner relating thereto.
