in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If you break a rule in section 281 or a regulation made under it, you've committed a federal crime. You can be fined up to $1,000, sent to prison for up to a year, or both.

This section sets the punishment for violating section 281 of this title, or any regulation issued to enforce section 281. Anyone who violates either one "is guilty of an offense against the United States." Upon conviction, the penalties are: a fine of "not more than $1,000," imprisonment of "not more than one year," or both a fine and imprisonment together. The section doesn't say what section 281 itself prohibits — its own text is only about the punishment for breaking it.
