21 U.S.C. § 145 — Penalties

submitted 99 years ago by ch. 155 to r/title-21-FOOD-AND-DRUGS · 50 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law sets penalties for knowingly breaking any rule in this subchapter. On top of any other penalty already required by law, a violator can be fined between $50 and $2,000. They can also be imprisoned for up to one year, or face both the fine and imprisonment.

This section punishes anyone who "knowingly violates" any provision of this subchapter — meaning they break the rule on purpose, knowing what they are doing. This penalty applies "in addition to all other penalties prescribed by law," meaning it can be added on top of any other punishment the law already requires for the same conduct. A violator can be fined "not less than $50 nor more than $2,000" — so the fine must fall somewhere between those two amounts. A violator can also be imprisoned for "not more than one year," meaning up to twelve months. The court can also impose both the fine and the imprisonment together for the same violation.
