48293
. (a) Any parent, guardian, or other person having control or
charge of any pupil who fails to comply with this chapter, unless
excused or exempted therefrom, is guilty of an infraction and shall
be punished as follows:
(1) Upon a first conviction, by a fine of not more than one
hundred dollars ($100).
(2) Upon a second conviction, by a fine of not more than two
hundred fifty dollars ($250).
(3) Upon a third or subsequent conviction, if the person has
willfully refused to comply with this section, by a fine of not more
than five hundred dollars ($500). In lieu of imposing the fines
prescribed in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), the court may order the
person to be placed in a parent education and counseling program.
(b) A judgment that a person convicted of an infraction be
punished as prescribed in subdivision (a) may also provide for the
payment of the fine within a specified time or in specified
installments, or for participation in the program. A judgment
granting a defendant time to pay the fine or prescribing the days of
attendance in a program shall order that if the defendant fails to
pay the fine, or any installment thereof, on the date that it is due,
or fails to attend a program on a prescribed date, he or she shall
appear in court on that date for further proceedings. Willful
violation of the order is punishable as contempt.
(c) The court may also order that the person convicted of the
violation of subdivision (a) immediately enroll or reenroll the pupil
in the appropriate school or educational program and provide proof
of enrollment to the court. Willful violation of an order under this
subdivision is punishable as civil contempt with a fine of up to one
thousand dollars ($1,000). An order of contempt under this
subdivision shall not include imprisonment.
