In lieu of seeking prosecution of any violation of this chapter, or the regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter, as a misdemeanor pursuant to Section 27671, the director may bring a civil action pursuant to Sections 27581 and 27581.4.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
