§ 13754 Report Compliance Penalties

• •If you break the rules in this law or lie on a required report, you can get in trouble (misdemeanor).
• •Before you get in trouble, you usually get a chance to fix your mistake (unless you lied on purpose).
• •Lying on purpose about a report is taken very seriously and won’t get a warning.

You own a small business and forget to file a safety report on time.

The law says you’ll get a warning first to fix it. But if you lie in the report on purpose, you can get in trouble right away.
