According to the PERA Force Laws, when the enforcement process involves an auction to recover costs and the proceeds exceed the actual enforcement expenses, the excess money must be returned to the offender. This provision ensures fairness and protects the rights of the individual from whom the enforcement costs are recovered. The law clearly prevents any unauthorized retention of surplus funds by the Board, Authority, or Enforcement Station, maintaining transparency in the enforcement process. By returning the excess, the PERA Force Laws uphold the principle that enforcement is meant to cover only the cost incurred and not to create a profit. This mechanism strengthens accountability, fairness, and legal compliance in managing enforcement-related financial transactions.
