When not otherwise specified, each 10 days that the violation or noncompliance continues is a separate offense.

The court may stay the operation of the order on those terms relating to bonding or other matters that the court finds proper. A stay may not be granted or continued if the court finds that it is against the public interest.
(c) A person who violates AS 18.70.095, as that section relates to carbon monoxide detection devices, is guilty of a violation. In this subsection, “violation” has the meaning given in AS 11.81.900.
