Each day any such provision is violated is a separate offense.(b) Every officer, agent or employee of any corporation and every other person who knowingly fails to obey, observe or comply with any order, decision, rule, regulation, direction, demand or requirement of the department made in pursuance of the power and authority conferred by this part, commits a Class B misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) or by imprisonment not to exceed six (6) months, or both, in the discretion of the court. Each day any such order, decision, rule or regulation, etc., of the department of safety is violated, is a separate offense. The fact that there may have been a prosecution for the violation of any such order, decision, rule or regulation, etc., of the department of safety under this section does not operate to prevent or limit the commissioner of safety from requesting that the commissioner of revenue suspend or revoke the interstate permit or intrastate permit, or both, as provided in this part and, upon receipt of such a request from the commissioner of safety, the commissioner of revenue shall immediately make the suspension or revocation requested.Acts 1933, ch. 119, § 11; C.
