A holder of a certificate of cable franchise authority, and the officers, agents and employees of such cable franchise authority, shall obey, observe and comply with sections 16-331q to 16-331aa, inclusive, and each applicable order made by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority pursuant to sections 16-331q to 16-331aa, inclusive. A holder of a cable franchise authority certificate that the authority finds has failed to obey or comply with sections 16-331q to 16-331aa, inclusive, or any applicable order made by the authority pursuant thereto may be fined, by order of the authority, not more than ten thousand dollars for each offense. Each distinct violation of any such order shall be a separate offense and, in the case of a continued violation, each day thereof shall be deemed a separate offense. The authority shall impose any such civil penalty in accordance with the procedure established in section 16-41. If such penalty is imposed, it shall be the sole remedy for such violation.
