§ 16-120. Enforcement proceedings. 1. The supreme court or a justice
thereof, in a proceeding instituted by the state board of elections, may
impose a civil penalty, as provided for in subdivisions one and two of
section 14-126 of this chapter.
2. Upon proof that a violation of article fourteen of this chapter, as
provided in subdivision one of this section, has occurred, the court may
impose a civil penalty, pursuant to subdivisions one and two of section
14-126 of this chapter, after considering, among other factors, the
severity of the violation or violations, whether the subject of the

the subject of the violation has a history of similar violations. All
such determinations shall be made on a fair and equitable basis without
