any action of the authority to effect such acquisition.

3. In the event that a comprehensive and regular management and
operations audit, as provided by subdivision (bb) of section one

provide in their order, the date in which any recommendation must be
fully implemented. Failure to comply with any such order can result in
the imposition of a civil penalty by the public service commission
against the service provider or revocation of the service provider's
authority to operate within the state.
