(a) Any cemetery authority that does not file its report within the time prescribed by Section 7612.6 may be assessed a fine by the bureau in an amount not to exceed four hundred dollars ($400) per month for a maximum of five months. The amount of the fine shall be established by regulation in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code). Failure to pay the fine within 15 days after receipt of written notification of the assessment or, where a timely request for waiver or reduction of the fine has been filed, within 15 days after receipt of written notification of the bureauâs decision in the matter, shall be cause for disciplinary action. (b) A cemetery authority may request waiver or reduction of a fine by making a written request therefor. The request shall be postmarked within the time specified above for payment of the fine and shall be accompanied by a statement showing good cause for the request. (c) The bureau may waive or reduce the fine where a timely request is made and where it determines, in its discretion, that the cemetery authority has made a sufficient showing of good cause for the waiver or reduction.
