Summary

This regulation updates the financial penalties that the Arts agency can impose for violations, adjusting them upward to account for inflation since the last update. This ensures that penalties remain meaningful and effective at deterring non-compliance with arts-related regulations.

Key Points

  • 2These increases are based on inflation calculations, so the penalties have the same impact in today's dollars as they did when originally set
  • 3The adjustment helps ensure that violating the rules doesn't become cheaper in real terms over time
  • 4Organizations subject to Arts agency oversight may face higher financial consequences if they break the rules going forward
