The Cowlitz Tribal Council finds that many errors in behavior or practice can be appropriately remedied by the imposition of civil money penalties. The establishment of a system of civil infractions is a more expeditious and less expensive method of remedying of minor errors that will decrease the cost and workload of the Tribal Courts. Penalties assessed under this chapter are to be regarded as civil and remedial in nature and in part to compensate the agencies of the Tribes and its subdivisions for cost of maintaining a safe and productive society within the Cowlitz Tribal jurisdiction. Where additional Tribal, Federal, or State remedies are available to discourage or compensate for violations of law or regulations, this chapter and the remedies included herein shall not be construed as exclusive.
