Sec. 6. (a) The commission may issue a notice of violation to a person who violates a law administered by the department for which a misdemeanor or an infraction penalty is established. If the person:

(2) fails to abate the violation within a period of not less than fifteen (15) days specified in the notice;
the commission may impose a charge that does not exceed the maximum amount that may be assessed by a court for committing the violation.
(b) IC 4-21.5 applies to proceedings by the commission under this section. The department has the burden of proving the alleged violation by a preponderance of the evidence.
(c) A separate notice of violation may be issued or a separate charge imposed for each day a violation occurs.
(d) The person may establish as an affirmative defense the filing by a prosecuting attorney of a misdemeanor information or infraction complaint based on the same event as that upon which the notice of violation was based. The person has the burden of proving the affirmative defense.
(e) The remedy provided by this section is supplemental to other remedies.
