The Act empowers authorized officers to pursue

A. Judicial enforcement only
B. Administrative and non-judicial enforcement actions
C. Only criminal prosecutions
D. International treaties
Correct Answer: B. Administrative and non-judicial enforcement actions

The correct answer is Administrative and non-judicial enforcement actions.

  • Authorized officers in a regulatory context are typically empowered to take a range of actions that do not always require a court, such as issuing warnings, imposing fines, or ordering corrective measures. These are classified as Administrative and non-judicial enforcement actions.
  • Judicial enforcement only is too restrictive, as many enforcement steps occur outside formal court proceedings.
  • Only criminal prosecutions is also too narrow; while some violations might lead to criminal charges, many regulatory breaches are handled through administrative means.
  • International treaties are unrelated to the direct enforcement powers of domestic officers.

The Act provides a flexible framework for ensuring compliance through various administrative tools.
