This bill establishes a prohibition against State agencies assessing, imposing, or enforcing civil penalties on other State agencies or their subdivisions, including divisions, boards, bureaus, or offices. The legislation aims to clarify that, regardless of existing laws, no civil penalties can be levied by one State agency against another, thereby preventing inter-agency penalties.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment. Currently, there is no legal barrier preventing State agencies from imposing penalties on each other, which this bill seeks to address by creating a clear restriction on such actions.
