United States of America v. Quiktrip Corporation - Consent Decree

VII. CIVIL PENALTY

36. The ADA authorizes the Attorney General to seek, and the Court to award, civil penalties of up to $55,000 for a first violation of Title III of the ADA and up to $110,000 for each subsequent violation. 42 U.S.C. §§ 12188(b)(2)(C) and (b)(3); 28 C.F.R. §§ 36.504(a)(3) and (b). The United States believes the imposition of a civil penalty in this case is warranted to vindicate the public interest. QuikTrip shall pay a civil penalty to the United States in the amount of Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000). QuikTrip will deliver the check or money order made payable to the Treasury of the United States to counsel for the United States by common carrier Federal Express, delivery prepaid within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this Consent Decree.
