If a licensee fails to pay any fine assessed under this chapter within 30 days after receipt of notice by the executive officer, after time for appeal has passed or after action on an appeal by the commission, the commission may, without hearing, revoke or suspend the license held by the licensee and authorize the Attorney General to bring an action in superior court to collect the amount due and attorney’s fees.
The action shall be speedily determined by the court and shall take precedence over all matters pending therein except criminal cases, applications for injunction, or other matters to which special precedence has been given by law.
