47	47	SECTION 1. Section 11-410, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows: 1. By amending subsection (b) to read: "(b) Any order for the assessment of an administrative fine shall not be issued against a person without providing the person written notice and an opportunity to be heard at a hearing conducted under chapter 91. A person may waive these rights by written stipulation or consent. These rights shall be deemed waived if the order is a preliminary determination of probable cause rendered during a chapter 92 meeting pursuant to section 11-404 and the person fails to request a contested case hearing within twenty days of receipt of the preliminary determination, as provided in section 11-405(b)." 2. By amending subsection (d) to read: "(d) If the person to whom the commission's order is directed does not comply with the order, the first circuit court, upon application of the commission, shall issue an order requiring the person to comply with the commission's order. Failure to obey such a court order shall be punished as contempt. In addition to initiating contempt proceedings, the commission may file the commission's order in the first circuit court to have the order confirmed as a judgment, which shall then have the same force and effect and shall be enforceable and collectible in the same manner as other judgments issued by the circuit courts; provided that there shall be no appeal from the judgment."
