Makes evidence regarding compliance or noncompliance with this Act inadmissible in a proceeding of any court, agency, board, or other entity, except with respect to an action to enforce this Act.

Sets forth civil penalties (in addition to any administrative penalties) for related violations, including suspension or loss of license.
