Platforms that violate these restrictions face civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per violation, with fines increasing to twice the profits derived or $50,000 for prohibited market types. Additionally, providers who continue operating after a court order to cease operations in the state incur a penalty of $1 million per day, and the Attorney General is granted authority to enforce these rules and issue necessary regulations.
