The Secretary must warn a person before reporting them for criminal prosecution under this law. The person gets a chance to explain their side, in speech or writing, first.
Before the Secretary* sends a case to a U.S. attorney to start a criminal case for breaking this law, the Secretary must first give the accused person* a heads-up. The person must get proper notice that a criminal case is being considered against them. They must also get a chance to share their side of the story — either by speaking or by writing it down — before the Secretary decides whether to report the case for prosecution.
Before any violation of this chapter is reported by the Secretary* to any United States attorney for institution of a criminal proceeding, the person* against whom such proceeding is contemplated shall be given appropriate notice and an opportunity to present his views, either orally or in writing, with regard to such contemplated proceeding.
