(b) "Civil penalty assessment" means the act by the Commission of imposing a civil penalty against a public utility after the public utility has admitted liability or has been adjudicated by the Commission to be liable for intentional violations of statutes in Articles 1 to 7 and 15 of Title 40, C.R.S., Commission rules, or Commission orders.
(c) "Civil penalty assessment notice" means the written document by which a public utility is given notice of an alleged intentional violation of statutes in Articles 1 to 7 and 15 of Title 40, C.R.S., Commission rules, or Commission orders and of a proposed civil penalty.
(d) "Intentional violation." A person acts "intentionally" or "with intent" when his conscious objective is to cause the specific result proscribed by the statute, rule, or order defining the violation.
