- (2) Such ineligibility is in addition to the penalty provided by Section 40-5-102, and shall be invoked irrespective of whether such individual is prosecuted for violation of Section 40-5-102, when the Commission makes such a determination of ineligibility. This section shall not apply to a determination made more than two (2) years after such violation occurred.
