§ 55-12 Settlement Agreements.
RCNY § 55-12
(a)The Department and a respondent may enter into a written settlement agreement before the hearing date. Any respondent who enters into a settlement agreement with the Department must comply with the terms of such settlement agreement.
(b)Unless the settlement agreement provides otherwise, a settlement agreement will constitute a determination that the respondent committed the alleged violation(s) set forth in the Summons. A settlement agreement has the force and effect of a final decision. Failure of a respondent to comply with the terms of a settlement agreement, in whole or in part, may subject the respondent to additional penalties and/or sanctions, including, where appropriate, a monetary penalty and suspension or revocation of a cigarette or tobacco license.
