(a) If, as of January 1, 2013, a person is in violation of subdivision (a) of Section 6224.3, that person shall not be subject to a penalty pursuant to that section, if the person, on or before July 1, 2013, remedies the violation or submits to the commission a completed lease application, including the payment of all fees and costs. The remedy may include, but is not limited to, entering into an appropriate lease with the commission or adequately removing the structure or facility.
(b) A person shall not be subject to a penalty or order pursuant to Section 6224.3, if the person submits a notice to the commission that a structure or facility owned by that person is potentially in violation of subdivision (a) of Section 6224.3 and the person, within six months from the date the notice is received by the commission, remedies the violation or submits to the commission a completed lease application, including the payment of all fees and costs. This subdivision shall apply only if the potential violator submits a notice to the commission before the commission otherwise receives notice or information regarding the potential violation, or takes action against the violator.
